19 Y.O. Woman Allows Her Family To Live In A $3.3M House She Inherited, Later Decides To Sell It To Get Rid Of Them Because Of The Way They Abuse Her
It is said that family is one of the most important things in a person’s life. But what if your family members are cruel and think less of you? Do you still keep close contact with them or ask them to pack their bags and leave? This is what Reddit user @Routine_Junket1040 had to think through when she was deciding whether to keep putting up with her family nonsense or put an end to it.
A 19-year-old woman decided to share her family situation with other people online to find out if she wasn’t wrong “for making her mom and brother homeless.”
More Info: Reddit

It is said that you have to love your family no matter what, but what if your family is a bunch of people who drive you crazy?

The young woman started her story by sharing that she lost her father to cancer and inherited 90% of what he owned, including their family home. He also left 10k for her mother and her brother. The narrator also added that she and her brother don’t share the same father.
A young woman asked people online if she’s wrong for deciding to sell the house she inherited because she can’t stand to live with her family any longer

The woman lived with her mom, who, she admitted, was still acting like she was the owner of the house, but the daughter didn’t mind. The situation got worse when her mom allowed her brother and his girlfriend to move in. They both were known to be “messy, entitled, and rude” and for this reason, the 19-year-old wanted them out.

The woman revealed that since her dad died, she has lived with her mom, brother and his girlfriend

She revealed that both her brother and his girlfriend aren’t the easiest people and so there’s a lot of tension between them

After some time, they all found out that her brother’s girlfriend (that she calls SIL) was pregnant. This made the situation even harder because now they had to stay and this decision made the young woman’s life unbearable. The woman went through multiple situations where her SIL would eat her food or make her go for McDonald’s, taking total advantage of her situation.

Things got worse after the girlfriend announced that she was pregnant, so now they couldn’t be asked to move out

The woman shared the situation that was the last straw and made her look for options on how to end this misery

The breaking point was when the woman got home from a long day at her college and work, so she wanted to make her some dinner. After she was done, she left her food to cool of but after she came back for it, she saw that her SIL was already eating her food. This made her extremely mad to the point where she made her brother’s girlfriend cry. The situation escalated further by them all having a huge fight.

The woman had an offer from her uncle, who wanted to buy the house from her and evict her family
Image credits: Routine_Junket1040
The user revealed that she’s been thinking about this option and now wants to know if she’s doing the right thing

The woman then revealed that her uncle offered to buy the house from her and evict her family. So this situation got her thinking that maybe this is the way out of having her family around, who is using her and not taking her opinion into consideration. A lot of people online expressed their support for this young woman who is brave enough to stand up for herself.

People online were quick to assure the woman that what she is right for sticking up for her
Some users also shared some pieces of advice on how the narrator should proceed in this situation

Your sister-in-law didn't eat those things because she's pregnant. She ate them because she's a jerk. Yes, pregnancy can come with major hormone fluctuations but it doesn't completely override someone's judgment and ability to behave responsibly and civilly. She was clearly behaving that way just because she wanted to, and she enjoyed being able to blame it on the pregnancy.

I already feel sorry for the poor baby that will be forced to have her as a mother.

The mum... uses a spare key... to unlock OPs PRIVATE ROOM.... just to allow SIL access to the mini fridge? WHY THE EVER LOVING F DOES MUM HAVE A SPARE KEY?!!! Evict. Evict and restraining order. OP is an adult - she should be free to completely cut these leeches from her life. All of them. They aren't family, they just happen to have some shared DNA. And if she feels guilt, remember, we also share DNA with bananas.

I have never wanted to slap a pregnant woman before. This post has changed that. I cannot stand people like her.

If the SIL is acting like an asshole now that she's pregnant, then she was an asshole before she was pregnant. Eject these toxic people from your life, but don't take a financial loss on the house. Get it appraised and offer it at fair market value to your uncle. Otherwise, he's being an asshole too.

5 bucks says that the brother's girlfriend got pregnant just so they wouldn't be evicted. Any takers?

NTA. Your whole family are a-holes, can't believe I'm reading that this behaviour is in the UK. Sell the house to your uncle, let him evict them, and they'll have to deal with their own mess. You did NOTHING wrong here, you even gave them leeway of letting them live there/move in without your permission, as well as putting up with all of their crap for months. These people have made it clear that not only do they not care about you, they're going to abuse you and it's perfectly fine in their eyes. You're not a member of the family to them, so they've already made the decision for you. Lose the 100K and sell to your uncle, the loss of that money is nothing compared to the misery your family will bring to your life. You look after you, and screw them. Chin up, dearie. And keep us posted!

I'm totally with you. My worry is selling with them still in the home, could they claim squatters rights? I know very little about the specifics of when these rights can be claimed but definitely something both op and her uncle need to look into before going ahead

4full term pregnancies and not once stolen someone's meal - being pregnant isn't to blame, being a massive c**k womble douche canoe is. Given how they are abusing the op, acting like overgrown toddlers I fear for their ability to parent sufficiently for that unborn child. My other concern, given that I don't know enough about it as it's not a thing in Scotland, but given this is England if the op sold the house with the relatives still in place couldn't they change the locks and demand squatters rights? I really don't know much about it other than if a person gains access to a property they can claim it as theirs and can take forever to get it resolved, details of what it involves are unknown to me though

Squatters’ rights don’t exist anymore. David Cameron’s government did away with them. Even so squatters’ rights only kicked in if you had lived in a property for 12 years without being asked to leave. They wouldn’t have applied in this case.

I think she should be able to legally evict them? She's houseowner, not her brother or SIL. They also moved to house against her will.
Honu 4 years ago (edited)
It sounds like she can and is aware she can, however she says they will never let her live in peace. It sounds like she's afraid of the consequences of evicting them. However, I don't see how selling to the uncle and having him do it will change that. They will likely still see her as the one who made the choice. Of course, it's not like they're treating her decently now. So I say evict, change the locks, and if they harass you, go no contact, change your number, delete your social, get a protection order if you have to. Only sell if you really want to sell for your own reasons and get full price for it. Don't leave money on the table because you think it will get you out of this abusive situation with your family because it won't.

Whenever, WHENEVER you have to deal with family over an inheritance GET A LAWYER. First thing, do NOT wait. Get a lawyer. You have no idea how nasty people can get when it comes to "inheritances.' Get. A. Lawyer. And you CAN kick them out of the house. Your age has nothing to do with it. First thing you should do is change all the locks on the doors, have two keys, one on you and one at work. Then pack up their stuff and put it on the street. Your dad left this house to you, not anyone else.

A lot of people on Reddit are stridently telling her to keep the house. It's in London, it's old, it's worth a lot of money, but... Old houses in London are a LOT of money to keep up. I've participated in that more than once. They're lovely, some of them, but they're damned expensive. She's miserable, crying and sad all the f'ing time. People can die from that, btw. I've buried a couple in my time. And not suicide - alcohol and other drugs. People lose jobs that way, too. Seriously, sell it for 2.4 million and buy yourself a nice little flat near where you want to live.

Maybe that's true, but property is going mad in London at the moment. She should be selling on the open makert. The idea you would sell a house in London for less than it is worth at the moment is absolutely laughable. Demand is way outstripping demand- she would likely sell it for above the asking price in the space of a few days. We sold our house a few months ago and we got almost 20 percent over the asking price due to people wanting to buy it getting in to a sealed-bid bidding war. The Uncle sounds like he's trying to pull a fast one on a vulnerable girl.
