>>60523297I kept regular contact, visited him, called him, I tried to have a normal relationship, never asked for anything because i thought he was just earning his pension. During 2015 I literally had to ask my mom for money for food because of how broke I was. He knew that.
When he got older and his brain started to deteriorate I still helped him managing the home bills, taking him to the doctor when he was sick, got him a cleaning lady that went once a week, etc
He died during covid, alone in his house.
Turns out he owned 3 other aparments, 4 in total. I literally sold one for 600k in 12 hours, gave 100k and one to my mum to live in, rented another and moved into the last one.
We literally could have had such a nice life but he just chose to drink all day and ignore us.
And don't get me wrong, I don't think I deserved any of it, the sad part to me it's that he lived such a sad, lonely, boring life when he could have been travelling the world or doing whatever he wanted. But no, let's just hoard and not share with anyone, not even enjoy it for yourself.
I will never understand boomers
