My sister (19) lives with our grandfather (mom’s side) to save on rent. My husband and I were going to visit the area because my other grandfather (dad’s side) was on life support in the hospital. I asked my sister and grandpa about staying with them. My grandfather said yes, but didn’t tell us that we would be staying in the same room as my sister – my sister told me we probably should find somewhere else since it would probably be cramped.

Well, when grandpa heard that sister told us to find another place, he got extremely angry and texted me, “I have totally lost control of the house I worked so hard for. I am sorry you have to be inconvenienced because I am not standing up for what I should be able to offer. Please excuse me.”

He then chewed out my sister, telling her that it’s his house and she doesn’t have the right to turn away guests, and as the argument got more heated, he used the words, “I am your father.” Yes he literally said that. She couldn’t believe it either. She was so confused. He clarified “when you’re living under my roof, I am the man of the house and I am acting as your father.”

I am so proud of her. She told him, “you are not my father, you are my landlord. I have a right to my room.” Then she told him she can’t live there anymore and she would be leaving.

She is immediately making arrangements with church friends for a place to stay and looking for someone to adopt her dog.

Yall I have to reiterate – this all happened because our other grandpa was on life support. He died in the hospital last night. She is literally grieving right now and suddenly her home is gone. But I am so proud of her for actually leaving and not putting up with his abuse.

My temptation is to go there and chew him out but I want to make sure I prioritize my sister and not doing anything that would worsen her situation.
