Perhaps sensing my despair, my dad also felt that he had gone too far. He sighed and walked up to me, saying,” Son, you are my eldest son. You should be considerate of me. It's not easy for me to maintain this family."
"What do you mean by saying that I should be considerate to you just because I am your eldest son?"
I looked at him indifferently and asked, "Does that mean I, as the eldest son, am not raised by you? Should I endure the shame here? And your youngest son should be lazy and enjoy himself at home! What kind of bullshit logic is this!"
"You're out of line!"
My dad was angry. He slapped me in the face.
His slap made me desperate.
"I finally know that in this family, I am just a tool to be used. Once I lose my value, I am nothing."
"Without a loving father and mother, I am just a burden!"
"Even the father in front of me is someone else's father. He is no longer my father!"
Tears rolled down my cheek. I looked at my dad and said, "From childhood to adulthood, you have always favored George. My mom died early. I accepted it! But I didn't expect that I might be worth less than a dog in our family in your eyes!"
My cry scared my dad. He took a step back.
Daisy, Hollie, and others came out and stood with Dad, all looking at me indifferently as if I were an enemy.
I looked at the four of them and said, "Since you all despise me so much, let's cut off our relationship. From now on, we'll be strangers when we meet!"
I walked out of the house with my luggage.
From beginning to end, my father watched me silently without saying a word to stop me.
His silence indicated the end of our father-son relationship.
After leaving home, I checked into a hotel. The first thing I did was to find a lawyer for consultation about getting back the property.
After I explained the whole situation to the lawyer, he nodded and said, "Mr. Hoyt, based on what you've told me, the down payment and monthly installments for the house can be traced through bank records. It won't be difficult to get the house back."
"In addition, I have another house. Originally, it was in my name. While I was away, my family used my ID card to sell that property!"
...
The lawyer nodded and said, "This is illegal, and the house can be recovered. If you suffer any losses, you can sue them and ask for compensation."
"Very well!" I looked at the lawyer and nodded. Then I said, "Please handle this case for me!"
