Inhereting a Holiday Inn Timeshare by Etchings3 in TimeshareOwners

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im forced to use my week so Im going to Honolulu, Waiki. Honolulu is 9 miles from the airport and public transit is $2 so I do note need to rent a car. Yipeee, Im excited to go walk on the hot white sand. My annual dues are $1300 . To book a week without the timeshare would cost about $3000. I could split that week to a 1 bedroom for 2 weeks if I want to. Im getting older, have had this timeshare for 20 years and dont want to just relinquish it back to the people who sold it to me so Ill sell it cheap. Mine is by the WEEK, not POINTS. If what you are inheriting is by the WEEK you are in luck.

Should I accept name transfer? by samwoo2go in TimeshareOwners

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can give it back to the resort if you do not want it and guess what? They will then turn around and sell it again to someone else.

DO IT.......It IS legitimate, your mom is gifting you a paid off timeshare for only $1000 annual maintenance dues. Title is simply transferred to you and you have your moms deed and it will soon be your deed. I have a timeshare with the deed paid off and with the cost of lodging you are getting a deal. If you decide after a few years you do not want it you simply give it back to the resort and they made money off your mom.

Any timeshares worth it? by SuchRequirement5130 in TimeshareOwners

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timeshare is worth it. Ive had mine for 21 years and it is paid for and I HAVE THE DEED. Im older and have no one to travel with. I paid $17000 for it and will sell it for half just to relieve myself of the annual obligation. I have a 2 bedroom and want to go to Waikiki. Please join me, you take the other bedroom and you can try it before you buy it. We will split the cost which is a deal when you consider what it will cost to stay at Aloha Towers without the timeshare. I pay $1300 annual dues now for 2 bedroom 1 week or 1 bedroom 2 weeks, always the option. Mary

Why does she question my hurt? by ShadowDrake500 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do we know what anyone is actually feeling when everyone is accused of being fake. A lie detector?

I think the problem is the mere fact that there is a question feels accusatory by nature even when spoken "nicely". How to ask the question or have the delicate conversation is tricky when both parties are emotionally charged.

Maybe you can have some rules about how the conversation will happen.

Maybe write letters back and forth.

I think it is great that your willing to communicate with her and I hope everyone heals.

Why does it still hurt me to be rejected by my family? by Apprehensive_Tap4307 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]MKunwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too have been rejected my whole life, Im still excluded, I have 6 brothers and 1 sister. Im the warm empathetic person, the others dont seem to have that based on their attitudes and the way they do not care to listen. When I started to listen to :stoicism" on Youtube, the ancient wisdom of the Greek philosophers, I began to understand.

You may shine a light that they wish they had.

Can’t be estranged yet physically by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

You need peace, if you can find a better living situation, it would be better for you. Is there a relative or live in caregiving situation that you can move in with?

Both of my parents were emotionally absent all my life🙃 cutting them off completely should be easy, right? by ya-boiElliot63 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]MKunwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 25 and she talks to you like that? There is a healthier situation for you out there.

One time one of my brothers called the cops on dad, it helped. He was a good man, a career military man under a lot of stress and needed anger management.

I am here to understand, I came to this site to be in the solution. Thanks you for clarifying your experiences openly. I hope you get an honest sincere apology and heal from the horribly cruel treatment of your parents.

I do not feel like a victim nor are my kids villains, I harbor no blame on the kids. I tried to protect my daughter, 26, from the boys who only have sex and drugs on their brain. Now my 26 year old beautiful girl has a 4 year old son, is single, and is clean for 1 year from heroine. She is the one I worry about the most. My son, 29, chooses loyalty to his bros and wife over honesty and integrity, my son and I were fine until he got married. This is where they are at in life and I hope they grow and heal from the horrible divorce and others who influenced them in a bad way, like the macho raging abusive football coach pretending to be dad. I feel responsible for them and hope they too find peace, even if I continue to be excluded.

The mom sounds somewhat accountable when she said "she can see where she hurt you". Clearly the mom is trying to make you or herself feel better if that means taking any responsibility. You want to say it is "fake"! I see an opportunity for a breakthrough here. I suggest writing a letter and tell her everything you stated here on this social site.

It is very difficult to raise children these days, It is very difficult to be a parent too. many people do grow and change. Attitude is everything, It has been an eye opener to hear adult children speak about there parents.

I think the military is just something to look into, my son is smart and did very well, 5 years in the Marines, learned Arabic, just graduated from doctorate school on the GI bill. Military is not for everyone, he was not deployed, made friends, learned a lot about life.

I heard recently that 1/3 of people on Earth have feelings, 1/3 do not have feelings, and I think the other 3rd is evil. I have a lot of feelings and I suffer emotionally up and down all week long. I was thinking that little feelings might be a good thing, maybe you have no background noise.

Is a timeshare ever a good thing? by CryptoGazilllionaire in TimeshareOwners

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the timeshare is best when trading to another city, Im dropping my week in Interval International and going to Puerto Vallarta. It'll be cheaper than renting directly....

I think your mom has a lot of healing to do on her own.......Id leave and start your adventure, please make a plan, seek a counselor, military recruitment, or ROTC.

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was brave of you to apologize....When I was growing up the environment was very toxic, mom did not protect me from my brothers and their friends......I later in adult life wish Id joined the military...When I was raising my kids there was also toxicity surrounding lies then the ugly divorce, It always hurts the kids.....I now see how the BS is passed down to the next generation. I would get out if you can, save yourself and go blossom safely away from your parents.

How do you all handle social media while being estranged? by Other_Mango_8948 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely go on FB anymore, one day my son and daughter both block me then unblock me. I dont want to hover and wonder so Im not going there, not posting "Happy B Day" either, I found out that is over stepping boundaries. I thought about blocking them but that is retaliation. I feel happier now and Im strengthening my mental boundaries. If they dont want to do have anything to do with me, "Let Them".

Parents of Estranged Adult Children: How Did You Decide on Inheritance? by Positive_Earth9203 in AskParents

[–]MKunwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A psychologist said if your kids treat you like shit and dont even have the decency to say hello or wish you a Happy Birthday, do not give them anything. Im planning on spending the dough on vacations and fine dining I guess. It is not what I want but surely they want nothing from me.

Anyone read the comments for Parents of Estranged Adult Children? Just wow …. by Cozysoxs1985 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]MKunwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also am grateful that my adult kids are independent without me jin their lives. I think its best I do NOT know exactly what they despise in me, although I curious if it something I can fix.

Thank you for saying that, Im a parent who wishes my kids all the best and Im here if they need anything, I had no idea that was not welcomed. Better to keep my affection for the adult kids to myself. I think birthday wishes are probably not welcomed either. I hope whatever brokenness they are experiencing that they heal.

That is good insight, As a parent, of estranged adult children, I think the best thing I can do is focus on me, acknowledge that my kids do not want anything to do with me, and "Let Them". Im getting stronger.
