Family drama
So last year we bought 25 acres from my grandpa for a really good price. It’s right up the road from his house and he keeps his cows on our land plus an additional 30 acres that joins our 25 acre plot. No problem there. However, he always comes through our yard at random times of the day to do stuff with his cows and it leaves us little to No privacy. Keep in mind there is a back gate he can enter that doesn’t go through our yard. There has been a couple instances where he has came through my yard in another person’s vehicle that I don’t recognize. I stay home with my baby, so that scares me sometimes when I see someone I don’t know pulling into my yard. Also, he comes to bush hog in the evening sometimes and doesn’t leave til 9 pm. My baby is in bed by then, and our walls are paper thin so we hear him everytime he drives by and he’s woken her up a few times. Tonight my husband talked to my pawpaw and asked that he would just call us before coming over in a unfamiliar vehicle or if he’s planning on being out on our land all day doing something other than just checking his cows.
My pawpaw absolutely lost his shit over this. He proceeded to tell my husband that that is not how we do things in this community and that he should be willing to come and go as he pleases and he will not give us any calls. It escalated and turned into a huge argument between my husband, my pawpaw and my dad. My pawpaw and dad ganged up on my husband and Said some absolutely horrible things to him. My pawpaw mentioned that he didn’t appreciate us putting a lock on OUR gate in OUR yard, and held it over our head that he sold us the land for a reasonable price and that we owe him for that. I told him It’s only locked at night because we live right by the highway and I worry about somebody pulling in our yard at night and breaking into the house. He told me that I should get mental help if I was worried about that. My husband and I walked away but I went back alone to talk because I thought maybe I could Get my dad and Pawpaw to calm down. pawpaw told me to leave and if I didn’t he would physically remove me. He got in my face and threatened to hit me and my dad finally stepped in and told him to back off (my husband wasn’t present in this moment). my pawpaw hit me when I was a kid and busted my lip, and tonight he had the nerve to say “ I’ve taught you a lesson a time or two if you don’t remember, and I will do it again tonight.” It was a really bad night and the relationship my husband had with my dad who is destroyed in just a short instant. I am beside myself and don’t know what to do. I want to sell this land and leave but don’t want to be irrational either…
