Ok, so apparently at some point yesterday dad did in fact offer to give them the car. Neither mom or myself knew of this.
None of these vehicles are in my name, they're all in mom's name. So her using it to get to work and back is fine, I just didn't expect to immediately lose access to a vehicle this weekend.
Anyway, dad's thinking was that they'd take the car and give the money back and he could use it to buy that 1,200 truck he wants from his friend. In his mind he was doing me a favor because I'd save 300 that way and we'd all still have a vehicle. The wrench was when they decided to keep the money too and messed up his plan.
Idk... It's looking more and more like I've been reverted to my previous role in the family as just a bank account they could withdraw from.
Don't worry, I'm not falling back into that role easily. Brother is getting nothing else from me, dad isn't getting anything either.
Anyway, sucks it had to happen this weekend. As if it wasn't stressful enough after quitting my job, it's also my Sister in Law's birthday today(so I'm sure my money went to a nice dinner and probably an expensive gift) and tomorrow is mom's birthday. Now mom is sad and upset and I'm afraid to spend too much money getting her a gift to cheer her up. >_>
Work in progress, please be patient.
