<prompt> Human: I believe the title explains it. It hasnt happened yet, but he has threatened to leave on Monday aka tomorrow hopefully I can do something about the situation beforehand. My parents had a fight and my mom said something dumb about my dads autoshop that hurt my dads feelings. My main concern is how to get my brother 25yr and mother 56yr through this both with no income.Financialgeneral situation as of right now: I am a 26 year old male with income of 76k as a software developer 80k in IRA401Kroboadvisor. Currently looking for a new job to increase salary Family House mortgage: about 1500 I can definitely pay this Autoshop rent: 5k plus insurance fees plus idk what else bottomline, I cant afford this Owner of the building lets call him Tom we are renting space from for the autoshop never returns our calls. My dad paid him 300k downpayment to buy the building, but we need it back severely No debt I can think of In the past, over the course of 2 years, my dad wired money through my account to a different country to fund some business he had over there. It was like 300k dollars total, but small amounts were wired at a time. I expected the money to come back through my account asap, but jokes on me, it didnt happen. I am worried about any repercussions. Any insightadvice into this would be great. Am I fucked?Plan: If my dad leaves us in the dust, my first course of action is to close the autoshop immediately and sell all of the equipment. Any advice on selling autoshop equipment would be great. I am going to post on the rMechanicAdvice as well Call Toms phone everyday to get back the down payment. Even though my dad and the owners agreement is on a poorly written contract, I think we should still be able to get back the money. He seemed like a good guy when I talked to him way back when. I think his wife is sick, not sure. If my dad stays, I am going to tell my parents to stop working together. It is making it harder on my dad to run the autoshop. My mom is only doing secretary work anyways I am slightly freaking out to be honest. If anyone can think of things that I should be doing right now that I havent thought of, I would greatly appreciate the advice.Thanks everyone.TL;DR I hate my family. EDITS: About contacting a lawyer: I have been talking to a lawyer for the past year and he has been trying to contact Toms lawyer for a long time now. He said the last thing to do would be to take the guy to court and fight for the money which would be costly, but it might be worth it. I will tell my brother to get a job. He was a bum in school, but I will work with him to figure out something. My mother has no skills and is sickly. I dont think she can work Auto shop is in my fathers name. and possibly equipment.  <response>: Your brother needs a job outside of the family business ASAP. I wouldnt support him, its only enabling him. my first course of action is to close the autoshop immediately and sell all of the equipment Auto shop is in my fathers name. and possibly equipment.Uh yea you cant do that.
