i was out for lunch one day with mom, and she told me about some money she's about to come into from sold property that was once owed by my grandmother. she tells me the money was being split up amongst her and her siblings. i asked how did she hear about the property being sold, seeing as though she hasn't kept in touch with her fam in decades. she said a lawyer, dealing with the sale of the property, looked her up and sent a letter.
she dug in her purse and showed me the letter. attached to it was a spreadsheet of sorts showing her family members and the amounts giving to them. she was getting a nice little chunk, which i told her she should put some away and squander the rest on herself, but she wants to share some to my little sis and me.
she went on to say after she was contacted by the lawyer, everyone in her family started to contact her and she was so elated to hear from them after all these years. the conversation got a little funny when she told me about one person in particular contacting her after so long, her nephew. it seems he and his sisters got the same letter.
(back story) -back in 2000, my aunt pasted, she had three kids, two daughters and a son. the two girls were in their late teens and the boy was 13 or 14 at the time. the girls were probably living with their boyfriends at the time, so my mom offered her nephew my room after i graduated high school, moved out and joined the military. he stayed for a week or so, but didn't want to do right. he told her she wasn't his mother and he didn't want her to tell him what to do. he felt like he was old enough to take care of himself and wanted her to drop him back off in the bad neighborhood he just left. she told me she tried to get him to stay, but he persisted. a day or so later, she reluctantly drove him back and never heard from him again until after the lawyer contacted her about the sale of the property.-
she told me that in the last week or so, her nephew was calling her multiple times a week and sometimes twice or more a day. i don't want to look too much into it, because on the surface it can look like he is just getting back in contact with his aunt after all these years, but he's got me wondering about these conversations they have. he's telling her these pitiful stories about himself not being able to find a job due to his criminal record, his 7 kids by multiple mothers, not having a car to get around, and wanting to start a business but not having financing to start said business. she told me dude called her at work one day and asked her who was living there at the house with her. when she told him she lives by herself, he told her she should let him come over and cook for her and take care of her. i chuckled cause that sounds like something you tell a cougar you're trying to move in on, not your aunt after not speaking for 10+ years.
i'm ready to have a long conversation with my cuz. what do y'all think? what would NT do in this situation, or would y'all fall back and do nothing?
