[quote=Anonymous]Short version: My mom moved out and filed for divorce less than a month after I left for college, so I left when I was 17 and never saw the inside of it again.

Long version: My jackass of a father held onto the house for five more years after my mother left, refusing to allow my mother into it (joint title) or to have it appraised as part of the divorce settlement process until a judge ordered him to do so and cited him for contempt for not complying.  In four years, he trashed the house, the in-ground pool, and let the yard go to shit, all to keep my mother from getting her half of the full value of the home.  He then had the back rent he was ordered to pay for the years he denied access to the property discharged via bankruptcy.

The house I will be sad to see go was my grandparents'.  It was passed down to one of my mom's siblings and is still in the family.  When we sell that, it will be a sad day (and we will be investing in a clean-out company to clear out the 50+ years of stuff that is in there).[/quote]
