Estrangers and their 'entitled' expectations

I agree maddy nothing to be gained by doing so and would add nothing to be reproached for when you don't.

We can't speak for everyone though can we User and wanting to know why you've been estranged doesn't mean you want to change the person who estranged you. Wanting to know doesn't mean that the one estranged will we seek to undermine their decision. Wanting to know doesn't mean that the one estranged will play the victim.

Not all estrangements are for the same reasons so it makes no sense to tar all of those that have been estranged with the same brush.

Unless you're aware of any issues in the relationship before estrangement happens, there's nothing you can do to try to prevent it, and not everyone is aware because it's not been discussed.

I totally agree with your Comments. I have my son and Dil living with me. They have a 1 year old child that they have kept away from me due to some misunderstandings. I took care of him for the 1st 4months but then they started to keep him away from me when I refused to give my younger son's room to them as they were already occupying the rest of the rooms. They do not contribute to the bills of the house. I finally have put my house on sale and my son told the agent that he expects me to given him minimum $250,000 so that he can place a deposit for his new home. He claims that I am leaving him and his family with very little choice and that he now has a baby to think about. I hurt everyday living in the same house but unable to have any contact with my grandson. I cannot imagine that someone can be so selfish and feel so entitled. I am just waiting for my house to get sold so that I can live in peace.

I for one don't think of reason why any more because have come to terms with the fact that she just wanted an excuse. If it had been just me she estranged perhaps I would question, but it was not. We owe it to ourselves and others that do care to make a good life, they not worrying about us. You can’t however stop the memories of happier times now and then creeping in.

I think it is ok to keep hold of those happy memories

Hopefully, it’ll sell soon, and you can leave your entitled son and DIL to sort themselves out. Most of us did that years ago.

I certainly wouldn’t be handing over that amount of money.🙄

Best wishes.💐

Gurms, He could whistle for it and get his marching orders, he's a grown man, up to him to keep his family. I would not put up with being kept from my own grandson in my own house. He's made it clear he wants nothing ti do with you. If your solicitor does not understand that, get another ine.

He can expect whatever he wants Gurms but that doesn't mean his expectations will become a reality and I hope that his don't.

Selfish and entitled sums him up. You owe him nothing. I wouldn't have them in my home if I were being kept from my GS.

I hope this terrible situation is son resolved and you can live in peace in your new home .
