It's my fault by extension. The fire next door was my fault, or at least if I had woken up sooner the damage wouldn't have been as bad (I've heard my father tell this to an acquaintance). My uncle had cancelled several home insurances without taking out new ones because he thought that was my father's responsibility. Those were the type of insurances a rented can't take out, only the homeowner (or the person who takes care of their business). Not that my uncle had mentioned that he cancelled them. We had to spend a lot of money getting the house livable again and the store had to be closed for almost two months because we had to clean and redecorate it ourselves.
If there had been less damage my father would have had more money up front to take on my uncle. Plus, my uncle took advantage of us being down, it's likely if the fire didn't happen, or the impact was less, that he would have waited with trying to sell until my grandmother died.
The will is my grandparents fault. They had told my parents they had put it down a certain way and they hadn't. I also blame my uncle for later, after my grandfather's dead and when my grandmother was in the first stages of dementia, influencing my grandmother to change the will to his advantage.
But, yeah, because I didn't wake up sooner everything is my fault.
