After Dad passed, he left me our century-old home. Mom and my brother, Tyler, got only $10,000 each—and they never forgave me for it. Out of guilt, I let Mom stay. But when Tyler and his pregnant wife, Gwen, moved in uninvited, chaos followed.
They treated me like a maid. I paid all the bills while they filled the house with dirty dishes and demands. “She’s pregnant,” they’d say every time Gwen stole my food or barked orders. Even my birthday cupcakes were devoured without remorse.
One night, after working all day and skipping meals, I made Dad’s mushroom pasta. I left it briefly—only to return and find Gwen halfway through it. When I protested, she cried, and they all ganged up on me. “You’re selfish,” they said. “Get out!”
But I had the last word.
I called my Uncle Bob, Dad’s brother, and accepted his old offer to buy the house—for $2 million. The next morning, I handed them 48-hour eviction notices. Their stunned silence was priceless.
They begged, guilt-tripped, and played the pregnancy card. I didn’t budge.
Two weeks later, they were gone. I moved into a small, peaceful cottage across town. Mom texted: “You made us homeless. Hope you’re happy.” I blocked her number and exhaled for the first time in months.
I didn’t just honor my dad by keeping the house—I honored him by finally choosing peace over pain. I have zero regrets.
