[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone knows that my father forgave the debt. He mentioned it repeatedly at gatherings to shame my uncle. My uncle had offered to give my father half of the original loan amount. It was what he wanted when my grandmother died. My father now says he will only be satisfied with half the investment.[b] He was unwilling to accept any of the risk, but now wants half the reward.[/b] He tells people it is all for his children though none of us want it. My cousins think we are two-faced. [/quote]

You have this exactly backward, but you're not listening to logic or reason.  You've already made up your mind that your dad is in the wrong, because you're embarrassed that anyone would think you want the money (even though you've already made it clear it's not for you).  You called your dad a braggart for not demanding the money back, and now you're calling him a family destroyer for demanding it back.  He can't win with you.  Possibly a dozen different people have told you in this thread that your uncle and cousins are being unfair, greedy, and selfish, but you've decided your dad is a monster because he wasn't okay with being ripped off twice.  Your poor dad, to have a brother willing to steal from him and you for a kid. [/quote]
