I watched some of these guys throw their mamas into nursing homes too when they got tired of dealing with them. Then they didn't make it in time to see her this kind of pissed me off too because that means he would probably do that toe too if I passed away it seems more peaceful to die alone.

This one made me tear up. My folks aren't rich by any means but they've always been good to me. I lost my mom last year to breast cancer, she was diagnosed in 2021 and we got one more year with her thanks to treatment. I put my life on hold to help dad take care of her and he was so overwhelmed and stressed that it probably took several years off what's left of his life. Now, I'm taking care of him. Just making sure what time he has left is as comfortable as it can be. I can't imagine being so unfathomably soulless as this wench towards your own parents.

[@zachboyd4749]

You are a remarkable son, offering to take care of him like that, and I can’t express my remorse for both yours and his loss. You Mom sounded like an incredible person, you should both be proud to have called her your family. Best words of advice I can give is to show your Dad that you and whatever family you have still love and value him, that even though his wife has passed there are others in his life that still cherish him. Not trying to downplay or distract from the loss in any way, that would be disrespectful and insulting to your Mom, but letting him know he’s never alone and that he still has people that love and appreciate him. Give him a reason to have the will to continue until he’s properly ready to rest, don’t let him drown himself with despair. My Grandpa was diagnosed with cancer when I was just starting high school. When he was diagnosed, the docs said he had 3 weeks to live, but that son of a gun lasted over 2 years. (My Grandpa was a Marine, he didn’t know the meaning of surrender!) One of the reasons I think he lasted so long (besides my Grandma, his treatments, and his pure Leatherneck stubbornness) is that we as a family let him know that we all loved him and still wanted to be with him as much as we could. He never let his negativity or his sadness over his prognosis affect him, instead he focused on the family that was there to support him and enjoying every last second he could get with them. As well, there were still milestones in his grandchildren’s lives that he was determined not to miss under any circumstances. The man was not well at all, but he made it. Every single one that warranted a family get together, he was there in person. Once he had been present for everything he could, once he had accomplished everything he had set out to do, he finally decided to end the fight. He let go willingly as he was tired and was satisfied he had fought the good fight, and rather than passing in despair and hopelessness, he went peacefully and happily while surrounded by loved ones. Death isn’t something to fear or dread as it happens to all of us, but do not let your Dad get consumed by his grief and allow him to pass in his heartbreak. Try to do whatever you can to be sure that he lives the rest of his days surrounded by happiness, appreciation, and love. Not only will it probably significantly increase his remaining time, but when the time does come he won’t go in despair or sadness. That’s the real tragedy of death, not going when you’re ready or passing because of heartache or depression. Do what you can to be sure that, when the time comes, he’s happy and satisfied rather then consumed with grief, and enjoy and cherish every last moment you can with him.

[@Arkryal]

Change the prenuptial agreement (assuming there was one) a year after divorce... that's not really how that works. And even if it was, a single party can't alter a contract without the notarized consent of the other party. Besides, inheritance is not generally considered a "marital asset" to be divided in a divorce, in most jurisdictions, she wouldn't have any lawful claim to it anyway. She could have a claim to a portion of his income under very specific circumstances, but it sounds like none of them are in play here. And he has a company... he could pay himself a salary of $1 a year and let her fight for a fraction of that, lol. His stake in the company comes with a fiduciary duty which he is bound to uphold and supersedes any personal claims. It was in a trust, so it's not likely a proprietorship. She really can't touch his money or the company. He has sole custody, so she doesn't get child support. In fact, despite his higher wealth, he could force her to pay him child support under many circumstances, unless she has forfeited all parental rights, in which case such a claim is rendered moot anyway. As for alimony, the divorce is settled. That's it, it's done. If she's not getting any now, she won't ever. And even then, if by some crazy logic she could get alimony after the settlement, she would be entitled to very little, and it's equally likely she might end up owing OP instead of him owing her. Alimony is for when one sustains financial damages as a result of mutual decisions in a marriage. Let's say a woman is a nurse, but she and her husband agree she should take a break from her career for 10 years after the birth of their first child and become a stay-at-home mom. When she rejoins the workforce, she will be earning a lot less than she would have, had she stuck with the career. She's likely making $30k-$40k less than she otherwise would have, and minus child care expenses, that difference in income would be split between the two of them who both consented to that career decision. Alimony is not arbitrary, it's balancing the assets which may have been disproportionately affected by the marriage. It is intended to be "fair" despite what TV tells us, lol. But in OP's story, there is no indication that their marriage led to any disparity of financial equity, so she wouldn't be entitled to anything. But if OP's career took a hit because of the marriage, he may have a claim against her (though it would likely not be worth the time and expense to pursue it, and again, the divorce is already settled, so that window is closed). OP won, Ex-Wife lost. If he wanted to put salt in the wound, his best recourse would be to ask out one of her close friends. That would piss her off. But that's also incredibly petty and undignified.

@@Arkryal I meant of she wants to get married again, change the Prenups.

[@Justanothaguy]

@@Arkryal Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I feel a lot of people don't really understand how divorce and alimony work particularly well in the United States or Canada at least.

[@Arkryal]

@@VoiceOfTheEmperorOk, I misunderstood, but that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying. Although I will say that while one-sided prenups do exist, they're generally pretty rare. If it's too much to one side the courts may raise an eyebrow over it and they can be superseded in some cases if it's thought there wasn't sufficient understanding by one party or was agreed to under duress. They do need to be fairly reasonable to be enforceable, or you'll end up spending way more in court arguing over it than what it could save you, lol. As long as it's reasonable, it's generally fine. But also keep in mind a prenup is about a lot more than just "in case of divorce". There are lots of other things that can be spelled out there. For example, let's say your brother is a world-class surgeon and your spouse doesn't believe in medicine. As your spouse, they can make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated. So you could use this to affirm you are deferring those decisions to your brother instead. It's not the same as giving your brother medical power of attorney, but would allow him to contest decisions of the spouse in the absence of that power. You're declaring and they are acknowledging that this marriage does not confer that privilege. Or imagine you have a disabled sibling whose care is administrated by an account (not established as a trust), of which you are the custodian. You could use a prenup to keep a spouse financially separated from those funds in some ways to protect it. The BIGGEST one is responsibility for pre-marital debts. If your spouse has $200k in student loans, you can spell out that YOU, by virtue of the marriage are taking no responsibility for the servicing of those debts. So many people marry to offload debts on a partner, and this is your first line of defense against that. There's actually a lot that can go into a prenup beyond things pertaining to division of assets. Nearly everyone benefits from a prenup in some way. Sadly, people think they're just about what happens in divorce, and they get offended by the mention of it. If they really understood what they were, a lot of people would be a lot happier, lol. It's always best to use them in good faith and equitably, but you're right, everyone should have one, and understand it and agree to the terms before marriage. It can solve a lot of problems, or at least make disputes common in marriage more clear and easier to address by allocating accountability first.

[@tuckhoichan6638]

This woman really doesnt understand the concept of filial piety. Even though the dad 'removed' OP from his will doesn't mean he is disowned. Plus, one's relationship with their parents should be one of love, regardless of finances, and OP understood that, caring for his father no matter what happened in the past. And he got rewarded in the most wholesome and beautiful way, as his dad was always proud of him.

[@Huss_0]

dude you are the best , i understand the pain of a parent leaving you but its amazing to know the happy things and you are the real definition of a successful person , the way you helped your dad made me know that i was listening to the winners voice , not the loser and your wife is fake , she used you , i hope your children take care of you the same way you took care of your father

[@doctor_plauge525]

I highly doubt OPs ex will get a lawyer willing to go against a millionaire considering how the system works it’s kinda in OPs favor cause he’s rich and in the right

[@TheGreyParse]

Imagine looking at one of the people that brought you into this world and raised you on their deathbed and saying, 'you have nothing more to offer me, so I'm done with you.' Pure evil.

[@hughg.rection1421]

I'll admit: I laughed really hard when ex-wife got mad at OP for signing the divorce papers _that she served him._

[@metalmadness90000]

🤦‍♂🤦‍♂. Good thing the man had a smart dad, he almost blew it all.

[@siddharthhasavimath8307]

The bond between that father and son, though it may have gotten strained in between is so genuine and touching. That both of them despite wishing for different things respected the others opinion and decision and still held compassion despite disagreement . Such a sweet bond.

[@J_Cizin]

This is why you have to be careful of who you choose to spend your life with if your parents or yourself are very well off especially if you have children

[@luciusnguyen2449]

This story brings tears to my eyes. The OP has such a heart of gold, he deserve someone much much better than that parasite Avril. I really hope he finds someone with the same heart as his. He deserves to have an angel by his side, his children deserve an actual mother as well

[@TheWizardsOfOz]

He acted like a man and signed the divorce papers. Something had to be done, and he did the right thing. Who knows what would have happened after his dad's death with or without inheritance if they were together.

[@ravenmage1859]

I was straight choking down tears when the lawyer said dad never changed the will and was proud his son was willing to forgo generational wealth for his passion. Dude deserves an extra special spot in Heaven. Meanwhile the absurdly evil ex with her heart of ice deserves an extra special spot in Hell. Torments her husband in an attempt to drive a wedge between him and his dying father, abandons her children, shows zero remorse or regret at all until the millions show up and she sees her easy money opportunity. Truly a sickening creature, and being free from her is worth more than any of the wealth he received.

[@BrooklynRedneck]

Ladies, the second a man realizes you are the center of his stress, when you “take a break” and we realize how much happier we are without you, you’ll never make it back.

[@AmericanMetalhead100]

Never unjustifiably abandon the people that raised you. Remember that, lads.

[@CarnivorousCass]

This sounds fake, and written by an AI. I mean, who the hell describes their mothers death as "her demise"

[@Alexandar358]

This story is both heartwarming and brings me a feeling of justice and karma.

[@DaughterofBabaYaga]

Inheritance is also not considered marital assets and henceforth they'd have a difficult time arguing for it in court.

[@saint037]

dad went down a gigachad by rewarding his son for being a chad despite the appearant consequences🗿

[@frankm6546]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@MrLuigge]

no u. _uses uno reverse card_ 😢

[@Wined34]

How could she be so heartless. I don't know how people like this are able to marry and have children. They really don't deserve anything... I thought those were the qualities women look for in men... She sounds like a horrible woman, I hope you move on and find someone who deserves and respects you...

[@ceu160193]

It's rather touching story. At least OP both got to see his wife's real self and was rewarded for staying with his father until bitter end.

[@nevermusic]

Man he got lucky with that clean break.

[@HughJassMarioFan2009]

Glad Avril got every pinch of karma she was given.

[@C.G.Gaster]

Ive had to help care for someone who was on dialysis, and they didnt have to leave home. That was hard enough on her body and it was every night. Its a long process whwre they either clean your blood by removing it, cleaning it, and putting it back, or there use a solution in your parentaneal cavity. That solution goes in, comes out, and has a sitting time. Its a long, and physically draining process.

[@jjr1728]

what a sexual concept. like a swishy blood cocktail. delicious.

[@sharmaineipvaiching9826]

She.. Left.. Her.. Kids!!!! That is the pinnacle of a real gold digger!

[@dreadlord8628]

This hits me. I can relate so hard.

[@headofsecurity]

This king didn't drop his crown. He stayed strong.

[@chadisnotachad]

Amazing ending.

[@user00419]

Looks like when you talk to Avril, you’re gonna need some advil to cope with the headaches she gives you 🤧

[@izukumidoriya7122]

This made me tear up

[@YourLightning28]

This is sad, I'm loosing and gaining faith in humanity at the same time.

[@YourLightning28]

For those of you curious its me loosing faith because of her, and gaining it from him

[@SchazmenRassir]

He "should've acted like a man"? But he did. Aren't wifes known for telling their kids and husbands to take out the trash? He did it without a fuss, and now she's complaining. XD

[@theysayisagorilla]

Awesome story beautiful!

[@djocharablaikan8601]

Where do you guys find these "satans" yall are dating? 😂 this is legit horror stories

[@evandegge8230]

My grandpa sadly passed away about a month ago from kidney problems, so this story was very nice to me.

[@alt4079_UUChristian]

This story is good. Love the ending! I’ve rewatch at the video’s best part, last minutes were good and it makes me happy.
