A relative of my ExHs died. I met them a couple of times when ExH and I were together but they did meet my DC (I only have 1 child) with ExH once a year after we split.
They left an inheritance to me (and ExH). A letter with it says that they didn’t leave it to DC in trust because they know that DC would benefit from it now, so they left it to me.
I used the money to boost up my savings to get a mortgage and buy a house. Houses here are around £120k for a 2 bed, I had around 20% as a deposit.
My sibling has stopped speaking to me since I announced I'd bought a house along with their spouse saying that I am financially crippling myself and they cannot support me.
They do not know anything about my finances, they know I work and get CM from ExH but nothing beyond that they have no idea how much I work or earn.
They want to buy a house but there’s always something and my sibling refuses to work. They have no DC.
Sibling is unlikely to ever get an inheritance like this as all of our relatives who may leave to us have their own DC and GC, our own parents are both in very low paying jobs living in rented.
What have I actually done? I want to fix this. Up to this point no issues however I am younger than sibling by 2 years and a single parent but generally no issues. I never borrow money from anyone. I can more than afford this. I could of gone for a 3 bed as I was offered the mortgage for it, but I didn't want to stretch myself to far when its just me. This will provide stability to my DC and mean we're able to have the house exactly how we want/need it (DC is 9 and has a disability so now I can make changes to the house that DC needs without worrying about making it right)
