Need Advice: Family Drama Over My Dream Home

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and thought this would be a good place to ask. So, here’s the deal: I worked abroad for over 13 years, saved up a ton of money, and built a big, beautiful house back home. I was super excited about it and always imagined that my son, Roy, and his wife, Leah, would live there with me. It was supposed to be our family home, you know?

But now, things are getting complicated. Roy and Leah have been acting distant lately. They told me they want to live on their own and not move into the house I built. I get that they want their independence, but it really hurts because I put so much effort into making this home perfect for all of us. I feel like all my hard work and dreams are falling apart.

I don’t want to pressure them, but I also don’t want to live in that big house all by myself. It’s just too much for one person. Plus, I was really looking forward to having them around, especially since I missed out on so much while working abroad.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Should I try to convince them to move in, or should I just let it go and respect their wishes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Kinsley
