“My Brother Took Over My Apartment and Thinks It’s Okay”
After our father’s passing, our mother remarried and had my half-brother, Max. He took over the apartment that rightfully belongs to me. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t reclaim what was mine.

John stood on the porch, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He had just had a very unpleasant conversation with his daughter, Emily. She insisted that her father needed to move to a nursing home because there simply wasn’t enough space for everyone. The house wasn’t very large, with only two small bedrooms. John lived in one, and Emily and her family occupied the other.
Recently, my husband and I realized that our family was outgrowing our two-bedroom apartment. Our children are of different genders, and each needs their own space. We decided to buy a house for my husband’s mother, but now his sister is trying to take it over.
I never imagined someone could prove me wrong. I tried to understand the situation and the reasons behind it, but not everything can be explained. From childhood, my daughter had always been close to me, and I thought her marriage would only strengthen our bond.
It’s not a big deal. There’s no drama or censorship. Even if you’re in your forties. You can find a job anytime. You don’t owe anyone anything.
“Dad, stop calling me. I don’t have time to help you anymore.” John sighed heavily. He had expected this kind of reaction from his son, but it still hurt. It had been ten years since they had a normal conversation. As soon as his son received his share of the inheritance, he disappeared. He never really needed his father—just the money.
– “Is this Emily’s idea? I can’t believe it! Just because we don’t get along with her doesn’t mean I should sell the house. I love this place.”
My mother won’t let me live my own life. She calls me constantly, berating me for not spending all my time with her. I’m 32 years old, married for six years, and have three children. My youngest isn’t in school yet, and I’m overwhelmed with my own responsibilities. Yet, my mother demands my attention and help every single day.
My mother has always struggled with respecting boundaries. She knows her rights well but often disregards others’ personal space. She never really liked my wife, probably out of jealousy since I’m her favorite son. A few weeks ago, my wife gave birth to our daughter. My mother wanted to be present at the birth, but
My wife and I spent years building our dream home. It stands as the tallest and most beautiful house in the neighborhood. I had to work overseas for 15 years to make it a reality.
When I transferred my house to my grandson, my daughter stopped speaking to me. This is a situation many elderly people in the USA have faced in one way or another. I am a 78-year-old woman who has just realized that my daughter is selfish. I have two children, a son aged 50 and a daughter aged 45
Our son and his wife live with us. Now, Emily is pregnant and due to give birth in two months. But my daughter had a change of heart after her in-laws intervened.
