Sale

Talked to dad today. He wants to sell the ancestral home. It's on the main road and will fetch a good amount. He doesn't want to live in the house it seems.

1. The house reminds him of mom.

2. People mock him due to the life choices I made. He wants to get away from the place and start life anew.

He doesn't have to run away. There is an easier way. Just disown me like everybody else. He can live happily. I will send him money irrespective. Instead of "Murali and his son" being black sheep in the family, it will be just "Murali's son".😢

This happened just after my cousin's marriage. The new girl is still getting oriented into the family. Then my father's brother's wife arrives along with other relatives. She tells the new girl that this family consists of very good people and we are proud of each and everyone, except Murali and his son. They not only disowned me but also creating awareness in new members as well. My dad is in the bad books because he supports me. Once he ends that support, he will be back into the good books.

That may be one of the reasons he is pushing for me to get remarried. He doesn't want to leave me alone. Then he will be back into the mainstream.

The ancestral home is currently in my mom's name. After her death, I, dad and my sister have equal shares in the property. My sister has agreed to write her share over to dad. So did I. Once he becomes the sole owner of the property, he can sell it quickly. It will fetch more than 70 lakhs easily.

We have around 10 lakhs of money lent from different sources. So first, that will be closed. Then he wishes to buy a property nearby to my sister's house. That should be bought in dad's name. Then construct a small house with 3 bedrooms. One for dad, one for me and one for guests.

This is not my ideal choice. I saw once a dream, sitting in Triplicane Temple mandap, along with someone else, to build a house in a valley. Surrounded by hills. A small house with a little bit of land around. I have even seen a perfect place. There is a small town named Aralvaimozhi nearby Nagarkoil. Kanyakumari district. It was so perfect.

So, my dad is waiting for me to arrive in December and to write the property over to him. It's one of the things I need to do, next to treatment and filing divorce.

To the life we wished for.
