From real life. “After my husband's funeral, his parents are threatening to sue me for the apartment”: They accuse me of having a child out of wedlock

Recently, our family suffered a great tragedy: my husband died.

I don't want to go into details, I want to talk about the behavior of his parents, not about that. I can't say that we were on close terms with them. We always kept our distance from each other. They never interfered with my relationship with my husband, we never visited each other, we communicated mainly through my husband and we congratulated each other on holidays.

When our daughter was born, they took the news rather coldly. They also rarely communicated with the child, they saw her for the first time only at her first birthday party and there was no talk of any expensive gifts or warm communication. At first I was nervous about this approach to my daughter, but my husband said that they are just people who are not used to showing feelings and do not need close relationships. “Try not to take it personally, that's just how they are,” he told me.

I listened to my husband and let the situation go. If they don't want to communicate with me and my granddaughter, then why impose myself? My husband visited his parents himself, but they never invited us. My husband's parents are quite wealthy people. His father has his own company, but my husband didn't want to continue the family business. He got an education, specialized, and started working in a completely different field. And he married me, a girl from an ordinary poor family, not the blue-blooded lady his parents wanted. They didn't interfere in our relationship, but they immediately made it clear that they were not very happy with their son's choice.

By the way, he wasn't their only child. They have another son and a daughter, both of whom are now adults and live with their families. I have a pretty good relationship with them, they sometimes visit us and like to play with my niece. After the family went through a mourning, they started demanding money from me and threatening to sue me for part of the apartment where I live with my seven-year-old daughter.

– The apartment was bought with our money – says my mother-in-law, although in reality it wasn't. The apartment was bought during marriage. We received some of the money as a wedding gift, some we earned with our own work, but most of it I inherited after my grandmother died. When my husband's parents found out about our intention to buy the apartment, they gave their son a generous sum of money, but it all went to renovations. I don't understand why they should take care of our property, especially now, but they keep putting pressure on me and threatening to sue me.

I can't even imagine what got into them. I've never noticed my husband's parents being such greedy people before, but now my life has turned into a nightmare. Why get upset about property that they have almost nothing to do with? It's not easy for me now. I have never seen parents immediately start solving financial problems after a tragedy.

I think this is absolutely abnormal behavior. I understand that no court will satisfy their accusations and demands, and officially I have nothing to hide, but my mother-in-law and her husband continue to put pressure on me. Not a day goes by without them calling me with threats and demands. Why did they even think they had any rights to this apartment? ?

At some point I had enough and blocked their phone numbers. Surprisingly, my husband's brother supported me. “Don't pay attention to them, they must be crazy,” he said, “everything will work out, you just have to wait it out.” He tried to calm down the parents, but of course no one listened to him.

My husband's sister also contacted me recently, but from her I learned a fact that shocked me even more. It turned out that my mother-in-law seriously believed that I was cheating on my husband almost all the time and that the child was not his, which is why they were always so cold to their granddaughter.

While I had hoped before that I would be able to resolve everything in a civilized manner, because everyone here is an adult and a proper person, now I see that it won't work. If they are threatening me with legal proceedings, they can do whatever they want. My mother-in-law has been to my place a few times, but I didn't let her in. I don't want to waste my nerves and time on these crazy people anymore, I have enough problems without them.
