NThank you for your kind words. Just to put things in perspective, my sister’s in law family is filthy rich. They live a comfortable life in India with three maids and everything. While I acknowledge my sister doesn’t work but that’s a choice she has made for herself as she is equally well educated. Should I be penalized for toiling my way up to financial independence.. I guess not. Her husband uses her not earning as an excuse whenever he needs to create a ruckus in my life and validating why they need more share from my parental belongings.
While I earn in dollars, my spendings are also in dollars and whoever is currently living in Canada, they would know how difficult it is to sustain with prolonged inflation, high tax bracket and a daunting mortgage to pay back with high interest rates.
But it’s not about money at the end of the day. It’s about my emotions and giving me what’s rightfully is mine. But I have chosen my relationship with my only sibling over my rights. It’s a sad reality but it is what it is. Whatever I do, it’s a lost battle.NI have a similar issue. After my parents passed away, my sister kept all the gold and silver with her. We are only two sisters. She said she would give me half but never shared anything with me while I was in India for a month long period. I don’t live in India and have officially given up on precious metal and the rental income coming from my parents’ house. My sister and I talk daily but none of us brings this into our conversation. Earlier, I had asked her to sell my share of the silver brick and transfer the money but she kept giving me some or other excuse every time. So I have mentally checked out now. I only wished that I get to keep some of my mother’s jewelry as her last memories but have made peace with it now. Some battles are not worth fighting.
