Hey all

I need to TELL someone and you are the only ones I CAN tell. But like everything, it needs background.

To put it in few words, I have come to understand that my family is toxic. As young as 7 or 8 years old, I would get hit with guilt trips that I had just caused my sister to probably die because I failed to find something in a drug store while my mother waited out in the car. And that is just one example.

More recently, after a failed attempt to reconnect a couple of years ago, I have been estranged since being accused of running an under age brothel out of my house six or seven years ago, things have gotten even worse. In March I got an email from an old friend offering condolences for the passing of my father. My family had direct ways to contact me - most notable through facebook where I play games when I am resting my back.

That, that was a hit. I had always planned that after my mother passed hubby and I would send for my dad and let him retire away from the fighting and drama that is the rest of the family. I found myself grieving for a man I had not seen or talked to in 15 years for the vague hopes of what might have been.

Also though our family friend, I head a couple weeks later that they wanted to sell the property my sister and I half own. I learned to love horses and that there were better things than the constant fighting there. The only good memories from my childhood are from that property. It was not something I needed at that point in my grieving for my dad.

I live two states away from that property, there is no way I would ever be able to use it, my sister will make sure that anything I create there she would destroy, and I could really use the money. So, yeah, it is time to sell it. But this gives you an idea of my mind set. I sent my MIL a power of attorney as she lives locally to get that done.

OK - I have to give a bit of back story from another direction. My whole family are slobs, vindictive, and crazy. The neighbors to the property have hated them for DECADES. Hated them to the point that they started a campaign to get them to leave. There were multiple lawsuits brought against them and my mother even did some community service time for animal abuse.

It worked, and the 70 acres has been left empty for a few years now.

Back to the present.

MIL has been having a BLAST digging up information on the property. She is going to go next week to pay the five years of back taxes that had the property slated for auction next month. She has hired a lawyer to deal with the paperwork transactions and my family.

And she has found a buyer...

It is the guy who started the campaign to get my family to move out...

Revenge is a dish best served cold. I feel that I should feel bad about that, but my goodness does it feel good!
