ctseawa at 03:39pm on 17/06/2007I've has just had a serious gut blow.
My parents sold the house I was supposed to inherit - to a wandering stranger.
He came by, asked how much, my dad low-balled it and sold the place. It seems they are also waiting on bids for all the other property we have out there.
There is no chance for me to even say 'boo' about it. The house is already in escrow. Evidently it happened a few weeks ago. My mom didn't want to tell me because she knew I'd be upset.
She's right. I'm upset. I'm also completely devastated.
In other words, I've just lost all connection with my birthplace and the place I spent my youthful summers. My emotional and mental home is gone.
As a minor side note, almost completely lost among the news above, the property I own out there isn't accessible except through the property they just sold. Since they sold it to a total stranger and didn't put anything in the sale contract I doubt I'll be able to do anything about retaining access to it. I've got 5.25 acres if land that I'll likely never see again.
My parents have no clue what this means to me. They grew up in houses in the city and didn't have a 'home' like this. We went out to Baker every Summer. It was my refuge, my mental home even when I wasn't there. Now it's gone, owned by a total stranger I know nothing about - and who knows nothing about me.
