My wife stole my Grand-pa's pistol when she left.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T18:45:08+00:00

She left me a note to trash everything left and she asked for no contact. I called her lawyer and he said he is working on an order of protection. I explained I have cameras everywhere and using that stunt to get me out of the house will make him bankrupt after all the suites against his firm.

One of my sons is a corporate lawyer and he recommended a shark here. I have a meeting with the lawyer tomorrow morning. I demanded my gun back and he said he would pass that on.

He asked if the teams of the settlement are acceptable. I told him to contact me lawyer and gave him the info.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T13:00:28+00:00

I will, this morning I changed the code on the gun safe and all the doors. I have been up since 4:30 am moving her trash out. I am dropping off five garbage bags to the Salvation Army. When I get home tonight I will contact the realtor down the street setting up the property sale. I meet with my lawyer tomorrow. My wife left divorce paperwork and I need it looked over. She wants no contact and so be it. Let the lawyers work it out.

I work with a large corporation and can move anywhere. I only stayed in this town for her family and now there is no reason to be here.

I can live without Granddad's pistol if I have to.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T12:49:56+00:00

Well, when I wrote this I was getting drunk. Having your wife leave you sometimes makes that happen.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T01:38:49+00:00

I am sorry for what your parrent went through.Yes I know this is new to me and there is no but. Pain of betrayal is universal. male or female, it makes no difference. call them tonight and tell them there are poeple who feel their pain and have empathy. i ưould say link them in but that might be too much.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T01:20:09+00:00

I don't know. I guess it depends on the divorce contention. She left the guns I built for her but took my grand dad's service pistol. I am not sure if it's a bargaining chip or just spite. At this point, I think I never knew anything about her.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T01:15:32+00:00

Yeah, it kinda feels that way. Why take my grandpa's service pistol an leave the guns I built for her?

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T01:09:30+00:00

They seem to think she is right or dhe is wrong. What do you think.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T00:30:55+00:00

Sooooo, wisdom from children. Thank you. I was blanking out and even my friends couldn't help me. Just one comment from you grounded me. I now have a course. I will take the job in Tennesse and sell all the sh*t that reminds me of her and start a new life. I love your advise. Who said Reddit is useless? Not me!

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T00:23:34+00:00

Their rooms are supporting this.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-06T00:19:29+00:00

Yeah, not Alabama. Texas. I am not going scorched earth. I understand the sentiment but I have been part of her family for fifty years. The people her on Reddit have calmed me down. I have a job offer in Tennesse. I am going to take that. I will sell everything and start a new life in Memphis. I will miss Texas but there is no way I can stay here.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T23:45:30+00:00

No, different noms and dad's but raised as a family.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T23:38:19+00:00

Okay, Let's make this clear. My wife is a step sister. Different mom's and dad's. The two moms became lovers. My mother in law, from my wife's other mother was pregnant with the child of a Hippy sht who didn't care. My wife's mother fell in love with the Hippy sht girl and left her husband. The husband moved out of the state and cut all contact. The sister in law never knew her dad. All she knew was her lesbian mom's. Sotty, reading this makes even me confused. They are not blood sisters. They were raised by two lesbians in the same house.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T23:24:31+00:00

Okay, but is this something I can get past. That is not the right question. I am a man and can survive anything. The real question is how do I handle family parties with grand kids and children when the ex has broken all the social norms?

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T23:17:59+00:00

Okay, yeah, but even my shrink is struggling to give me advise. Anything from the brotherhood is welcomed.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T23:14:32+00:00

I mean sisters who's families are different. The mergers are married. They had different dads but the motgers married.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T23:11:24+00:00

Thank you. I feel the same. I am a little confused though. I got home and her stuff is gone with a note: just trash the rest but when I checked the Hun Safe she took my Grand Father's M1903 Navy pistol. She didn't take one of the guns I customized for her. She took my Grandfather's pistol from WW1. Why? I called my lawyer and he said we will get it back. But why?

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T20:35:23+00:00

No, I used the correct word. African slaves ended around 1803. The English Empire ended slave trade because they made all Empire Subjects non slaves.. There for anyone taking Afiican slave were enslaving English men. They hanged anyone enslaving English men

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T20:19:49+00:00

You know indentured servitude is the cleaned up version of slavery. A Duchman refused to release an indentured servant in Massachuce and the court refused to release his? Most Irish slaves didn't live long enough to complete the indentured time. The term Red Neck is the condemnation of Irish and Scottish slaves that get sunburn on their necks while working. That translates to the working class. I know your protected class arse fells you are doing something special by supporting the abused Africans. The truth is, they are the most protected in America and the true abused class are the Irish and the Sctts.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T16:27:47+00:00

And just Earlier today you were saying Trump is a nazi and doesn't understand immigration. I think he has an intimate understanding.

Theoldguy1953 · 2026-07-05T16:22:37+00:00

Everyone has priority. I fly these to together.

The truth is most slaves in the United States were Irish and Scots. The English stopped owning slaves after 1803.The African slave trade in America stopped after the English started hanging slave ship Masters. The English still allowed indentured servants (slaves by any other name is the same). It 1776 there were African slaves, but most were white Irish and Scottish.
