Turning the Kids Against The Parents

This is a true story.  The only thing I will change are the names.

Nicole and Winston were married young.  They quickly had two sons, Paul and Jim, and their marriage began to fall apart.   Thinking they were doing the right thing, they sent the children to live with Winston’s mother.

Winston had an elder sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother.   The elder sister was Lola, , the younger sister was Ruby, and the younger brother was Frank.

Frank particularly hated Winston and Paul and Jim.   In fact, Frank hated Paul and Jim especially because his mother loved them more than she loved him.

After a few good thumps from his mother, after a few episodes in which Frank didn’t exist in his mother’s eyes because she was so focused on Paul and Jim, Frank decided to play the boys.  Decided to use them.  Decided to make them love him more than anyone so that one day he could push them under a train.

Nicole wanted to take back her children, but her now ex-Mother in law told her to wait, get herself established and then take them.

Winston came and took them without permission.   This was three years later.   Three years of Frank’s input. Three years of Frank making them hate their father.

Winston wasn’t perfect, but he wasn’t as bad as Frank made him to be, and the boys couldn’t wait to run away, back to Frank and Grandma.

Grandma did love them more than her own children.

She did a will.

She left one house to be shared between Winston and his elder sister, Lola.   She left one house to be shared between Ruby and Frank.  One house to Ruby, and two houses to Paul and Jim.

Frank didn’t know about the Will until his mother died.   By then Frank was in his forties, Paul and Jim, were in their thirties.  He shared the facts with Lola who was in her fifties.   They decided to take one of the houses left to Paul and Jim and sell it.

Winston found out about the will, and he fought for his half of a house, and then contacted Paul and Jim.  They acted as if he were trying to trick them.   After all, Unca Frank loved them.  Unca Frank would never hurt them. Evil Daddy can’t be trusted!

As time passed Paul and Jim slowly began to appreciate what had happened.  Despite the fact it was Frank and Lola who had tried to steal the property Grandma left to them, they hated Winston.   Winston must be doing all this to hurt Lola and Frank.   There could be no other reason.

Despite everything, they refused to believe that their lives had been twisted and destroyed by those they trusted. No.   They could not move from the position they were in when they were under six years of age.
