Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Yeah, based on that title, 100% I'm the asshole. Here's where I'm confused:  


The workplace is my dads, where my husband was employed. Hubby finishes up at the end of this week, because he's chosen to take on a different job. Dad wasn't overly happy about this - one of those 'but I'm creating an opportunity for you to take over the business one day' scenarios. Which is great, and super appreciated...but hubby's got a trade and been given an amazing opportunity in that field - and he never wanted that business and was clear on that from the start, he started working there to help Dad out when Dad got sick and needed a hand for a while. (Dad's fine, temporary illness)  


So we've been a bit curious since we haven't heard anything about anyone new starting with Dad (only Dad and one employee - business is busy, but doesn't need more than that at this stage). Today, Mum let slip that he had someone lined up to start next week. She was the only one that knew and we weren't to be told because 'why do they need to know?'. ('They' being me and my husband)  


Ok....fair enough? Seems a bit douche-ey to me because we're family, but ok fine, we don't really need to know I guess.

Oh. Except. The person you've got working for you is our real estate agent, who currently has the sale contract for our apartment. And Dad's sworn him to secrecy. So he'll be leaving that real estate agents next week and....we....haven't been told...because Dad's forbidden him from telling us? Really?

I'm getting out of the fog lately with some ridiculously narcissistic things Dad's done, and some beautifully enabling things Mum's done, throughout my entire childhood....but this one has me a bit stumped. Am I the asshole here and I'm making a big deal out of something that really isn't?  


P.S. Don't know if it changes anything, but for the last 10 years I've worked for our other family business (and still am) - Dad has stepped away from this one leaving me and Mum working here, while he does the other business full-time.
