I am approaching a very difficult decision that I am wishing I didn’t have to make. I am probably going to have to ask my aunt for my inheritance from my uncle that she has control of. My uncle died about 25 years ago and left me, my brother, and my cousin each a large sum of money to be given to us when we grew up and needed it.
Having four more mouths to feed and cutting our income in half has really put a financial strain on our family. We are having a hard time making ends meet and things are getting tight around here. Even if I wanted to or was able to find a job that would work with my schedule, why would they hire someone that has a limited availability when there are so many people who will work whenever just to get a job.
The issue is that this aunt is my fathers’ sister and she hates me, not to mention I have not had any contact with them in years because they are evil. It’s a long story but we just don’t get along. I asked her for the money once before when I purchased my first home and she insulted me for an hour before she said no, I was too young and not ready yet. The situation is now much different and I have very good credit and a family with quadruplets now. If that doesn’t show responsibility what does?
I have never bothered before because we have always been financially secure and money isn’t worth trying to suck up to her. I think this time I am going to have to take her abuse and hope she has even a shred of a heart left to see that it is for my family. The money is mine in the first place and my reason for wanting my money is valid, I just don’t know if I can bring myself to being humiliated by someone as mean as her.
