When my only son got married, I invited him and his wife to move in with me. My house is spacious, and I live alone, so it made sense. My daughter-in-law, Meredith, was thrilled with the idea.
Fast forward four years and they now have three children. Meredith recently told me that the house is “too crowded” and with another baby on the way, they need my room for the new baby.
She even arranged for me to move into a small studio apartment nearby and offered to pay the rent.
I refused to leave my home. My son then revealed, “Mom, we’ve felt uncomfortable all this time because we haven’t had the privacy a new couple needs.”
I stood my ground and said, “This has been my house for the past 43 years, and I won’t leave it.” But my son replied, “If you don’t move out now, Mom, we will, and you won’t see your grandkids anymore.”
I’m devastated and feel like my world is falling apart. What should I do?
