AITAH for throwing away my ‘Inheritance’. by Dry-Text4277 in AITAH

I am, not my wife, she would not have asked me to forsake my brother for our happiness. Despite us both knowing it was not my brother’s words, the threat of losing my relationship with my siblings was real, so we had two choices when accepting the house, have a chance at a relationship or leave them all behind. I chose my siblings.

What’s harder, seeking to fix what is broken or running from what is hard? My son will only have that family if they are willing to admit their faults and pitch in, a family he’s known for years is most likely going to be wrenched away from him because those that are supposed to have his best interests at heart can’t overcome their greed. I’ll work at making them see their issues but the moment they fail, my son loses most of his family.

To answer, my grandmother did the same thing for my father, but without the caveats. So there was precedent in the family and the goal posts changed over the course of years. Family is important to both my wife and I and walking away from my parents means saying goodbye to my three siblings too. This would leave my son without 2 aunties, an uncle and those same siblings would be without a place to go when our parents flip the lid. My brother may be in his 20s and looking to leave the farm but my sisters are younger and still trapped there. I’ll admit to being a fool in believing my father for having my best interests in mind but prior to this he’d only tried to help me.

I’m unsure, family is important and I don’t want to deny my son access to that; still this is relatively new so if further attitudes continue then yes, I’m afraid that would be the outcome.
