It deff does, he told me over and over again "Nothing will change Jay, you'll see" and then after about 4 months of ME gutting the cottage so we could do some MUCH NEEDED repairs/remodeling he calls me up and tells me "I'm gonna need you to get your stuff out of there" I was floored to say the least!
I ended up packing up what little stuff I had and moving down the road to a friends house (modular to be exact) I spent the next year and a half in a 12 X 9 room saving up every cent I could so I could get my own place again.
I did not speak to my dad for over a year and a half after that till one day I get an instant message "Jay, Are you mad at me?" I damn near fainted when I read that lol.
We started talking and he "swears" it's my house too (I just can't live there I guess lol) and I'll see once he passes and it becomes "my house" till then I can USE the cottage whenever I want BUT I can't LIVE there.
Things have mended over the years BUT I've never gotten a dime back that I spent to save my grandmother / HIS MOTHER or the house that he pushed me out of..... but hey I get to USE it whenever I want (which is a plus cause it's a GREAT lake house!)
And I guess IF (a big IF) he sticks to his word (show me the will lol) and I DO get the house when he passes it'll make up for allot of the shit I was put through.
My biggest thing about that place was SAVING it and keeping it in the family, my family built the first 10 houses on the lake back in the late 30's and up until the late 90's over half the lake was family and friends cottages, now as the years go on more and more have sold off and less and less of the lake is family anymore, I'm bound and determined to keep at least the 5 houses in the family so that my kids can have the fun I did growing up at the lake cottage during the summers!
Not too mention there's no place I'd rather retire to then right there on the lake!
