From Trust to MisTrust. Part 2

After the carpet incident I couldn't take it any more, I called my mom and Aunt E. My mom simply said that Aunt U cannot take it with her when she's dead and don't worry about it.

When I explained what's going on to Aunt L with all these stuff disappearing (Aunt L & Aunt U are sisters)  Aunt L had a different story line, she told me how can I say such things and maybe I'm looking at it differently. Once she told me that I realised that I should just shut up and handle stuff differently.

Let me back up a little bit: Before the carpet incident I remember when I and Aunt U was at the house, Aunt U never let me out of her sight. She was always following me from room to room. I now know its because she knew I know where her deceased sister valuables are/were. So unbeknown to me I was leading her to My deceased aunt valuables.

The last time I saw Aunt U she and I had a huge falling out. It wasn't the fact that she was stealing but it was the fact that she made a comment that was very nerve wrecking to me. Her quote: "Why should you give any crystals among other things to your aunt's church?... They didn't give a dime towards the burial!!"

With that comment I proceeded to the cabinets which had crystals and china in it and started taking out crystals and put them in my moving boxes.

She walked over to me and asked:

Aunt U: Who is that for
Me: For me & my brothers
Aunt U: Why should you take these crystals?
Me: Because I want to!!
Aunt U: Well You cant have them..
Me: Is that so! (as I continued to pack)
Aunt U: You didn't hear me, I said you cant have them.
Me: Don't raise your voice at me and there is no need for you to me coming up in my face waving your finger neither.
Aunt U: What? Why are you so rude? Let me get L(Aunt L) on the phone because this is ridiculous.
Aunt U: L, your nephew is here and he's being very rude to me, I didn't know he was so rude.
Me: So you think its right for you to be raising your finger up in my face, shouting and acting erratically towards me and I shouldn't defend myself?
Aunt U: Little boy you don't know what you just did. (She stood in the corner of dining room and commenced to talk on the phone with Aunt L)
Me: (still packing)
Aunt U: (She's still on the phone talking to her sister): Oh, That's what he said about me.. (She then shouted): Who are you to judge me?
Me: (Still Packing & Ignoring her)
Aunt U: I can't believe this guy. He's here taking all the stuff!!
Me: saying to myself: (wait, wait, wait, all the things I've told Aunt L in confidence she's telling her sister? I trusted her!!! If she can do this I wonder what other information she'll divulge!!!

So two of my aunts that I love and trusted is against me now? okayyyyyyyy!!!! I'm still in disbelief that my own family members that I know most of my life are against me.

I taped up the boxes, put my name on them and left.

The next 2 days I got a call from the management office informing me that they have apprehended a woman in the apartment who claims she is my aunts sister and wants to take stuff out. The office also inform me that seeing that my aunt has passed I am now the primary person on the lease and if family members need to visit or take anything out of the apartment they will have to do so via my consent only.

It was as if the god has finally open the gates of heaven and let the blessings fall on me. I now had the option to have my aunt arrested for trespassing & larceny.

Find out what I did on Part 3 of this post. Expect it next week.

From Trust to MisTrust. Part 1

My aunt who passed sister (Lets Call Her Aunt L) and I used to talk everyday. She's the one who called me at the office and told me to be strong. Ever since her sister (Aunt E) got sick, me and Aunt L has become closer or so I thought.

I spoke to her about different situations, choices and just call her twice a day to say hello. I even told her how I felt about her other sister (Aunt U).

I know my post may seem a bit confusing but I have six aunts. I'll break it down so you guys could understand it.

• Aunt L (in NYC)
• Aunt T (in NYC)
• Aunt E (in New Jersey) Deceased
• Aunt U (in New Jersey)
• Aunt P (in Atlanta)
• Aunt J (in The Tropics)

After the funeral I was frequenting New Jersey because I had to pack stuff up and give up the apartment. Aunt L told me that each time I go to Jersey I should call Aunt U and let her know because Aunt U may be able to provide me with some assistance in regards to packaging Aunt E items.

Past History: Aunt E give me a copy of her apartment key and informed me never to give a copy to anyone. Aunt E also added my name to her lease so that if anything happens to her, I can have access to her apartment (No one in the family knows I'm on the lease beside me and my deceased aunt). She also listed me as Estate Controller of all her assets w/specific instructions on how it should be divided up.

Aunt E & Aunt U never got along much, but for the last couple of months before Aunt E passed , Aunt E was trying to make amends with her. But Aunt E still didn't trust her with certain things.

So when Aunt L told me to contact Aunt U for assistance I was baffled. Aunt L even went as far as asking me to give Aunt U a copy of my keys to Aunt E's apartment. I didn't think much of it because I said to myself Aunt E passed and all of them are sisters so who I'm I to refuse someone the comfort of helping in anyway they can.

As soon as I gave Aunt U the key's I realised that a lot of items has been disappearing from the house mysteriously. I took offense that she took jewelry and gold plated flatware from the apartment before my Aunt E's body gone into rigormortis yet!

My Aunt E was a lover of jewelery, but at the same time I don't know how many carat of diamonds she had and how many carats her rings, earrings & necklace were.

When I confronted Aunt U about it she claimed that she took the jewelery and shared it up with her sisters & nieces. I brushed it off and said to myself: Hey, I don't want it so if she gave it away to family members I don't have a problem with that. Because essentially that is what I was gonna do.

The following week I went back to the house and realised that books, personal items, picture albums & valuables were also missing. At that point I was like whoa!!!!!!!

But what really took the cake was I remember each time I visited this apartment Aunt E made me take off my shoes because she never liked me trampling her $2000.00+ dollar rug. And now even the rug is gone!
Stay tuned for Part 2. You may expect it before the end of the week.

Non Eventful Hiatus

Good Morning from NYC

The past couple of month has been a roller coaster of emotions for me.

I have discovered that sometimes the closest people to you can drive a knife through your back and turn it to inflict more pain.

I have said a prayer for them and asked god to give me direction to what I should do.

During this week I will share more with you (the blog-world) about my 2-Months away.
