Put yourself in my situation and explain what choice you would make and why.

Ok, so your father dies and suddenly you find out he had been living a double life to be away from your selfish/controlling mother. He has been living with another woman and her four children for seventeen years. He is almost as much their father as he is yours. You now realize the man was a saint for coming over three times a week to see you and staying married to your mother for your own sake so you could have a chance at a normal life.

It comes up that you will inherit the other woman's home. It is your only inheritance because your mother will keep all of your dads belongings and bank accounts due to a loophole created by the state you live in. You and your wife are in desparate need of a home, you only need 25k more to put down on a place of your own. The one you live in isn't in your name and falling apart. Your furniture is torn up and ragged. You sleep on a mattress on the floor with no bed of your own. Their is no heat or cooling where you currently reside.

What do you do? Sell the house the woman lives in and kick her out? Offer to sell it to her for a fraction of the cost? Or just give her the house knowing that your father loved her and had bought it for her, her children (all now grown and moved out) and her mentally disabled sister? The woman is one of the kindest people you have ever met.

Darw up a rental agreement and use that agreement to secure a loan from a bank.

If your father had bought the house for this other woman, he would have left it to her, or had it titled in her name. However, I would be unable to put her out of the home she has lived in for so long, but I would not allow her to live there for free either, if the property now belongs to you. If your mother is a decent person, she will offer to help you out of the inheritance your father left her. The fact that you and your wife are living in poverty has no baring on this situation. You are responsible for yourself.

right here is one: faith is a sequence of ideals. Atheists say that faith is fake and a waste of time, they are asserting that they have not got faith in faith. those are all ideals. So for this reason atheism is a faith of no longer believing in faith.
