I (28M) need judgement on this situation that\u2019s tearing my family apart.For 10 years, I lived alone paying rent, while my father\u2019s second wife stayed in his house free. Dad remarried Linda (45F) when I was 17. She moved in with her daughter Emma (now 13F). Meanwhile, I struggled in my own apartment paying $1,200\/month while they lived comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dad always promised me the house. \u201cThis will all be yours when I\u2019m gone,\u201d he\u2019d say. Linda quit her job 5 years ago and became completely dependent on Dad financially.After Dad\u2019s death, the will named me heir. Everything went to me \u2014 house, savings, the works. Linda only got $10,000.I waited two weeks, then sat them down. \u201cLinda, Dad left the house to me. You need to find somewhere else to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I gave them notice, but she cried, \u201cI\u2019ve lived here 12 years!\u201d\u201cThat\u2019s not fair!\u201d Linda screamed. \u201cThis is Emma\u2019s home!\u201dEmma was sobbing. \u201cPlease don\u2019t make us leave!\u201dI gave them 60 days. October came and went. November too. Constant excuses \u2014 no money, can\u2019t find a place, Emma\u2019s school. By December I was done. I was still paying rent on my apartment because I couldn\u2019t move into MY house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I served them legal eviction papers. \u201cYou have 72 hours.\u201d\u201cYou can\u2019t do this right before Christmas!\u201d Linda wailed.When I returned, they were still there. Linda sat watching TV like nothing happened.\u201cSue me,\u201d she said.I snapped. I put their things outside. My cousin helped me move everything to the front lawn \u2014 clothes, furniture, Emma\u2019s toys, everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
