Hello everyone. Usually people come on PS asking for well wishes for sick parents, family members and pets, but my need isn''t so desperate as those, but still heartbreaking. I normally wouldn''t do this, but I have nothing else to turn to.
Lately there have been some family troubles on my father''s side that may result in estrangement amongst family, and my father being homeless. I don''t really want to go into it too much, but let me say that there are three siblings (of which my father is one) who own three family trust properties (one of which my father lives in). Lately there have been infighting amongst the siblings, and the trustee sister has decided that she feels it''s better that my 62 year old, unemployed (laid off) father move out and try to buy a house of his own (with no current employment or downpayments). He''s very much the least successful sibling, but is the kindest hearted. He takes in rescue animals of all kinds (we even had a crow for a few years), but my aunts have decided that he has too many plants and too many animals for him to be allowed to live in the home. So, they want him to remove all his animals (two parrots that have been raised since they were chicks) and give them away/move out.
It destroys me to see my father go through this agony, not being allowed to live in the house that he''s lived in for 30+ years because he''s not keeping it museum quality. He''s very tidy, and very anal about how the house is looking, yet will not be allowed to live there because one of the sisters fixed it up too nicely to allow him to ruin it. He''s making plans to move out of state since he won''t be able to afford to live in CA anymore, and submitting resumes all over the place. He''s trying, he really is, but the sisters won''t listen.
Please, pray for my dad, and that his sisters will see how cruel they are being, so we can put this all behind us. He''s a good man who unfortunately fell on hard times. The house is paid off, and my dad pays all the bills there- so he''s not just living there for free. Please just keep us and our family in your thoughts.
Thank you.
