My entitled mother is demanding the house I'm living in that was given to me by my father

who passed away, and despite walking out on my family 16 years ago, she's suddenly only

coming into the picture so she can make a quick buck, and I honestly could not be more upset.

Here's what happened. So a few years ago, my father passed away due to a sudden and short

battle with cancer. My father and I have always been on good terms. He made a lot of mistakes

along the way, but I do believe he believed his intentions were good. Just the impacts he made

were definitely not. He had a learning disability, and while I hold many scars, I hold no resentment

towards him for making mistakes. We had talked about it a few times, and he did show remorse for

the effects he caused, and we ended up growing closer because of the open and loving communication.

My mom on the other hand left us when I was 8 years old for a different man in her life.

This man treated me terribly as well as my siblings and my mom, and in turn it made my mom's behavior

towards us a lot worse, thus the frequency and intensity of incidents definitely increased as well.

I've lived with my father for my whole life, except for maybe a six month period out of state,

where I stayed with a friend, which was always intended as a temporary situation. Though I did

plan to move into my own place when I came back, things didn't pan out with the pandemic.

Shortly into the pandemic, my dad went to the hospital because he thought he had COVID,

but it turns out he had stage 4 cancer, and they said there was nothing they could do.

He had the option of some treatments, but he declined them, and he passed away shortly after.

He didn't have a will, but it was always his intention, according to his family,

that the house would be given to me. One of my siblings is a STEM major in college,

and the other married into a wealthy family, and I'm the youngest,

so his intentions were to ensure that each of his children were taken care of after his passing.
