I don't know if you can see this post or not, but it is my mother's estate sale that she doesn't want me to know about. I read it in the paper. No my mother isn't dead, she's quite alive, and she didn't want to "just give" things to her kids, she wants us to pay for them. The estate dealer will take 30% of her earnings, so the 30.00 sale to us, she will get about 20.00. That was more worth it to her than sharing things that were my Dad's too. Please God don't ever let me be like her. Sorry to post this, it is just so unbelievable. I have no problem paying her for her items, don't get me wrong, but could we have been told in advance? Maybe had a private look through before other people? Could we have had the opportunity to retrieve things that were my Dad's who has been gone for 30+ years and I have his football referee jacket and a leather belt? I hope her piddly dollars she will make on this sale keep it warm and happy.
Sorry for the post, maybe I will delete it in awhile, I had to write it somewhere or my head would explode.
Sorry, Kay. :( Are you still going to go the estate sale and try to buy some of the things that are important to you?
ReplyDeleteHugs to you on this tough day.
Well that just sucks! Maybe if you go and say you want something your mom will just give it to you? Life is sure crappy sometimes. At least you are figuring out all the things you will never do! Might be a good time to get out of town for a day or two, and do something fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Kay! Do you plan on going? I feel terrible for you and hope you can somehow get the things that you want before someone else does. They'd mean so much more to you since you know their history - especially your dad things. Big hugs and thoughts being sent your way today!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's shitty! Your mom should GIVE you reminders of your Dad, and then sell the rest. That's sooo very mean. I'm sorry you have to go through this and I hope you get a few things that remind you of the good times with your Dad! Hugs!

I feel for you Kay...it sucks to have a Mom with no empathy..I have one too...Hugs Don't worry you won't end up like her - You do have empathy for others :-)
ReplyDeleteoh geez kay. :( I am sorry that you are going through this.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. I personally would rather just give it to my family, but whatever. Big Hug for you :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry and sad Kay. Don't even understand this. Sorry you ate going through this..
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law had a garage sale a couple of years after father in law passed. She waited until we were on vacation. No chance to buy anything of his or my husbands. That was 17 years ago. Shes in nursing home still nasty as ever. We only visit one hour a week. Her daughter will not visit. Just forgive her and go on with your life. Don't let her rob you of anymore bad days.
