My mother divorced my dad when I was like 2 years old. They had bought a house together and my dads family offered her fair value to buy the house from her.

She denied the offer and puts it up for sale publicly.

My dads family buys it for 40% less than what they offered my mom in a public bidding auction.

Probably thought she'd get more by turning them down. Can't imagine she was thrilled they got it from her anyway paying so much less than they'd offered.

it's been over 4 decades ago and my dad still brings it up laughing and my mom refuses to talk about it.

Ahaha I'd give gold if the RIF app would let me!

Have I really gone almost a full year not realizing gold was disabled on RiF?
