I could really use some advice
This is gonna be a long post because of the back story and explaining things so please bear with me. If you stick until the end and offer advice I thank you!
At the beginning of the year my sweet grandma died unexpectedly. She left an inheritance to all her grandkids including me. I was left a little more because my cousins all own their own homes, but I didn't.
Well, when I got my inheritance my dad who has a back ground with building and knowing most things about house building. He told me I should use the money to fix up a house. We talked about it in depth and he said he would hire a group of workers and make sure my house gets done right. I agreed and then the ball got rolling.
The house was supposed to be done fairly quickly, but due to worker problems, hurricane Harvey and other things the house ended up taking months. (To this day the house will be done next week)
so over this span of time my husband lost a few jobs and we had to dip into the inheritance to have money for rent, food, laundry, car payments, etc. My dad from the beginning was really protective over my inheritance, always asking questions and saying things like "she better not be seeing her money on that husband of hers." (he's never liked my husband because I moved out at 18) I want to include my money was put in my bank account so my dad had no access to it.
well last week my dad ran out of money (his personal money not house money) and he told me I needed to go with him to the bank to withdrawal money.
skip to it- we got to the bank and when he asked for a certain amount I had to tell him I didn't have it. Although I did give him $2,500 so he didn't leave empty handed.
now to the problem: the house I paid him to fix up is on his property. Now he is blaming my husband saying he 'took' my money and 'used me' for money. Of course that's not true, but my dad's had it out for him. My dad is now saying that since it's his property I can live there and pay him the $1,500 I owe him, but my husband's not allowed to step foot on his property.
our baby is due in December. how would my husband be able to pay rent at an apartment, light bill, car payments, insurance and then pay the houses light bill, houses water and see his baby?
I know I owe my dad money, but instead of him just saying "you shouldn't have taken the money out, you both need to pay me back. I don't want to make things harder on you both financially." he would rather keep my husband away and blame him.
Thanks for sticking around until the end. Please leave me some advice.
