[quote=Anonymous]You know, OP, I just want to say, that the sense I get of you is that you are classy and fair.  I like that you are working through this privately (well, with us, LOL).  It really is multifaceted and it's not just about the house, but about the communication or lack thereof on behalf of your sister, mother, and uncle.  It's really four issues.  And you are fair-minded, which is why you are trying to work it out.

What I would say, just to help...soothe, I guess, is that I took care of my uncle and aunt (in my house) for a few months, and please let me say it's no picnic.  You might actually have the better end of the deal.  My DH is a saint for putting up with that with me.  And I was so sandwiched it was ridiculous.  Sees Candies became my best friend and therapist, which is not a good thing.  :lol:

Also, one other thing worth mentioning.  My grandmother had a house, yard, gigantically tall old old apple trees, garden, flower garden, etc, very sweet...I went there every summer, and unlike my cousins, I lived there for two years with my mom when my parents split up.  The house went to someone in the family but there was discontent etc, and the house ended up being sold.  The new owner razed it and put up omg the most ugly thing, and the whole lot is completely unrecognizable.  Cut down the trees (ugh, I cringe even typing that)

This bothers me so much.  I wanted to show my kids my childhood situation and it's just gone.

So the good news is your sister will have that house, and not only will it not be razed and ruined, your kids will know not just the outside but also the inside of where you lived once. And you'll get to keep going over there.

You're classy, OP, you'll work it out.[/quote]
