He Took My Husband’s Truck
My father-in-law took my husband’s truck, screwing us over financially big time. He then tried to gift it to his grown child, my husband’s younger sister. My husband and I were living on our own, working full-time jobs, and adulting just fine until we conceived as planned.
But then things took a horrible turn. My body didn’t handle pregnancy too well and I was constantly sick, in and out of the hospital. My employer said I could take leave and come back when I was able to work my full shifts again, which was pretty darn cool of him!
Anyway, our truck starts messing up, big time, and with me not working, we didn’t have the funds to fix it. We were already full no contact with my husband’s horrible father because whilst we were staying there and he found out we were moving out on our own, he started becoming violent and hostile towards us.
He would walk past me and call me names like, “stupid witch,” “freaking loser,” dumb jerk.” Every single time he passed me, he muttered something derogatory in my direction. He also called my husband into his bedroom nightly to “scold” him and insult him.
Calling him a “wuss,” a “complete idiot,” and so on and so forth. So, we left the next day while he was at work. He comes home to find us gone and is absolutely FURIOUS! He goes totally nuts, blowing up my husband’s phone, calling everyone in the family and telling them I have “taken” his son from him, etc.
Umm, okay psycho! Well, back to the point of the story. Like I said, I was sick all the time and the truck just clunked out on us. Now, this is a 1992 Chevy 1500, and it was booted up. With the engine trouble, it clearly wasn’t worth very much.
So, a man my husband worked with offered to take it off our hands for $3,500! Great deal considering it was in pretty bad shape! Only problem? My father-in-law, even after my husband turned 18, never transferred the title to my husband’s name.
Even though it was his truck. So, we informed my father-in-law that we needed the title and are selling the truck. He threw a fit and said no we aren’t. He then refuses to transfer the title and comes and tows the truck, essentially swiping it from his son.
His intentions were to screw us over financially in the hopes that it would make his son leave me, whilst I was pregnant, and move back in with him. Now he succeeded in screwing us over financially, but that just made his son despise him even more.
And as the years have passed, he just continues to make his son hate him. Here we are nearly five years later, and we have been full no contact for over a year. And we plan to keep it that way.
Oh yeah, and after he took the truck, he tried to give it to his youngest grown child as a graduation present, much like it was previously given to my husband as an 18th birthday graduation present. Story credit: Reddit / LydZardR2008
