I'm sorry Artemis. This sounds like a difficult thing to get your head around. I know if my parents tried to tell me how to live my life from beyond the grave I would be severely irritated. But knowing you, I'm sure you'll think of something. Call me if you need someone to bounce ideas off :) Holly x
I appreciate it, Holly.
There is, of course, a rather obvious solution. One that I do not believe would have been too far in the future even without my father’s meddling.
Ironically, this posthumous demand of his may have the opposite of its intended outcome. He’s tried to force the issue of marriage with his control over money because he wants me to lead a “normal” life complete with “love.”
By tying one to the other, however, he creates a potentially dangerous question: when I do marry, have I done it for love or for my family’s fortune?
My father always did have a flair to the dramatic. I feel as though I'm living in an 18th century drama.
Sincerely,
