My brother yelled that I was hanging around my mother for an apartment and savings, and she did not give him anything as a child.

Only with age I really realized that I have no one closer than my mother and will not. This was especially true when her health deteriorated. I noticed for the first time how deep the wrinkles on her good face had become, how gray the roots of the hair she had so diligently dyeed had become. Now she's 60, and for her, the situation I want to talk about was a real blow. I'm afraid her weak heart will stand the fact that her son wants to sue her own daughter. Just think, brother!



Unsplash And it's not that I somehow deliberately offended him, not at all. I haven’t seen my brother in 5 years. He lives in a thousand lands, does not really call, does not visit. The reason was my mother's decision to rewrite the entire inheritance on me and leave nothing for my brother. I know it sounds unfair, but it's not that clear.

Inheritance War: Brother vs. Sister C mom I've only really gotten close postgraduateWhen my brother left to work. Up to this point, we lived together: mom, Alex and me. My father left us when my brother and I were very young and, as far as I know, did not help with money. Because of this, my mother from morning to night plowed into two jobs, completely planted her health. But she never blamed us and gave us everything we needed to get a good education. Now I rent an apartment in the neighborhood next to her, and my brother left 10 years ago, first to Europe, then returned, married and married. built-up. In general, everything has worked out in his life, even the children are growing up.



Unsplash Mom continued to work in two-way At the same time, even after Lesha left. He was a mechanic and made a decent living first in Poland and then in Germany. I knew this because I followed his social media: I went to vacation in warm countries, changed cars, lived for pleasure. My mom didn’t see it, because she doesn’t have a website, she just knew that my son was doing well in his and my stories. He always came to us empty-handed. Said I missed you a lot.

Time went by and my mom started to get serious. health problems. It was very difficult to persuade her to retire, but even she understood that at 60 she could not afford not only two, but even one job. When mommy retiredLesha was in no hurry to visit her or offer any help. Besides, she didn't ask him for anything herself. But she was very ashamed of her small pension, which was barely enough for groceries and communal housing. She refused to take my money, too.



Unsplash figured out how to find a job for an elderly mom. Previously, my mother was fond of knitting and embroidery, and quite seriously: we have her pano on the walls. And as a child, she often sewed me simple summer dresses, could patch anything up so that no one could notice.

I heard that now it is a real trend: to buy handmade from elderly. I have seen several projects where young entrepreneurs look for older masters, provide them with all the necessary materials, and then sell on Internet platforms for a lot of money. After a couple of months of searching and questioning friends-marketers, I finally found the necessary contact and a week later, my mother mailed the first sweater. There was no limit to my happiness: my mother is busy with a pleasant business and does not worry about money anymore, she is quiet, at a free pace.



Unsplash So we spent the last year: she knitted, I visited her often. Over time, the hobby began to bring her the same money as the work, and she spent much less time on it. Only her health was very disturbing and disturbing: I often take her for tests and to specialists. Maybe that’s why she decided to be safe. write a will nowI honestly don’t think the situation is so critical: she still has to live, sew and sew.

And when the news reached AlexeiIt was a nightmare. Mom mentioned it casually in a phone call when he asked how she was doing. It was no surprise to me that she decided to leave all her possessions to me, and I don’t think it’s embarrassing. I am determined to look after my mother and home to the deepest, God willing, old age.



Secondly, Lesha has everything seized: a large mansion, a car (it seems, even two, for him and his wife), like even slowly growing a business open on savings from Europe. We never thought he would be so confused.

That night he said a lot of bad things about my mother and me. That my mother is a bad parent, that she did not give him anything as a child and will not even give before she dies. And that I'm not just hanging around her, but all for her apartment and savings. Although I know my mom doesn't have any big savings. And the apartment, forgive me, a two-room Khrushchev on the outskirts of the city, which can not be compared with the choir of his brother.



Unsplash and so humanly hurt for mom and myself. She spent her whole young life raising me and the years passed. And he at least once asked if he could help her with money, if she needed any medical examinations. He called only in urgent need or on big holidays, and visited even less often.

But worst of all, he said that his mother was no longer related to him, and that he would not even attend her funeral. He threatened to challenge her decision and find a way. "to restore justice.". After that, he added me and my mother to the blacklist, so now he can not call or sign. I don't want to, to be honest. My mom's really sick.



She keeps trying to justify him: that he works hard, that small children are hard, that he had a poor and unhappy childhood. But I can't support her because I could only say such terrible words. scoundrel. We were never close to him, and now I understand why, because he turned out to be a very callous and self-serving person. I don’t know only one thing – how to comfort my mother, because she is now contraindicated to worry a lot. What to do, how to support?
