My husband’s wife said that when I am 18 years old, I must start paying the rent if I want to continue to live with them. What you did not know is that the house we live in already belongs to me. My parents were never married, and after the death of my mother, I inherited him. When I mentioned this to her, I laughed as if I were doing it.
I decided to turn the situation: I thought it was fair to ask me about the rent because it believed that the house was my father, so it seemed right to ask her to pay me the rent instead.
The next morning, I told her that if I plan to stay with us after I was eighteen years old, you will need to start paying the rent to me. I lost it completely. I refused hysterically and tried to manipulate me, crying that I was childish and unreasonable.
She claimed that she was just trying to help me “to be independent and prepare for the lives of adults” and that my position was only to conclude. I did not say anything and moved away, leaving her to deal with her anger.
The next day, I woke up to find her trying to prepare my favorite breakfast. She was behaving suddenly all sweet, saying that she wanted to take me to shop after we ate. This has never happened before. I asked me to keep the “misunderstanding” between us, saying that my father does not need to know him.
I think she finally understood that I was not joking, and now she is trying to back down. I feel it is time to talk to my father about the entire situation – he deserves to know what is going on. Or do we keep this between us and the demonstration as if nothing happened?
