Estrangement/Grandpa rent Alienation

You really must realise that we are here to support the OP, not be reactionary which is done by not suggesting that the OP views her GS as a pawn or an object VS when she hasn't done so.

Smileless I don't think turning people's threads into an argument will help anyone

Better to give our own advice and move on

Hi Violet Sky My husband left everything to me but my son feels entitled as he claims that this was his father's home. He is a very greedy person and my husband knew that about him. He is just trying to see how much he can get out of me when I sell the house. It is positive to hear back from all of you as that makes my day feel better. If not I keep overthinking and it is affecting my health a lot. I am not going to back down from selling the house but I also know that is is going to be a nightmare before I get that done.

Is your son perhaps your stepson - I only ask as that may be a daft reason he feels entitled to claim now? Don't back down, sell if you wish!

It's unclear, to me, why you reference GS as a "pawn"?

When you say someone is a pawn Norah it refers too them being used by someone for their own purpose.

Similar to the faux "blackmail" in a prior thread?

My nightmare with my ES does not seem to end. He has always been a difficult son but now it is worse since my DIL came into his life three years ago. They have a son who is 9months old and use him as a pawn to hurt me . For the 1st three months they let me have full access to him. Now they keep him away as I have decided to sell my house where they have been staying without paying any bills at all. I had to come to this difficult decision as my son has been very manipulative since his Dad died of cancer 6 years ago. I wake up everyday feeling horrible and helpless. He will only leave the house if I give him 200 to 300 hundred thousand as he claims that housing is very expensive. My son and DIL have made my life so miserable that I don't fee like waking up in the morning. I loved my grandson so much but I hear him in my house but cannot go near him as my DIL claims that I have depression. I have never felt so helpless and terrible as I feel now. Sometimes I wish I had died instead of my son. This feeling is just drowning me.
