No I really don't think you were wrong, but I think it could've been handled a bit different. Maybe you could have agreed to pay some of the money, but she was definitely WRONG in doing what she did out of spite.
I Prioritized My Happiness Over Saving My Granddaughter
When life puts us in front of harsh dilemmas, we have to make a choice. And for Louisa, a 68 y.o. retired grandmother, she chose her dream trip over helping pay for her sick granddaughter’s medical treatments. What happened next left Louisa shocked and in utter despair, and she wrote to us to share her story and ask for advice.
This is Louisa’s letter:


Thank you for sharing your story, Louisa! Here are a few tips that can help you navigate through this unfortunate situation.
Seek legal counsel to protect your rights.


She has to give you a legal eviction notice. Contact a lawyer, you have rights.
Still though, not giving any money? Smdh
Although the house is in your daughter’s name, there may still be legal avenues to explore since it was your home, and you contributed to its upkeep and value over the years. Consult an attorney who specializes in property or elder law to determine if you have a right to stay in the house or if there are ways to contest her actions.
This step might give you some leverage to negotiate with your daughter, especially if her actions violated any agreements you had about the property.
Facilitate a mediated conversation with a neutral third party.
It’s clear that communication has broken down between you and your daughter. Consider arranging a mediated discussion with a neutral third party, such as a family counselor, trusted family friend, or professional mediator.
This can provide a space to calmly express your feelings of betrayal, hear her perspective, and explore solutions that respect both your needs and her child’s health situation. A mediator could help foster mutual understanding and potentially mend your relationship.
Evaluate alternative housing options with a focus on security.
Since your trip funds will likely be redirected toward finding housing, think strategically about your next steps. Look into affordable housing options, including senior communities that might offer more stability and support. You could also explore house-sharing opportunities with other retirees or relatives.
This might provide financial relief while giving you the chance to rebuild your life in a way that allows for some independence and peace of mind.
Reassess your financial priorities and emotional needs.
Take time to reflect on whether holding onto the dream of the Paris trip is worth the ongoing rift with your daughter. While your feelings of betrayal are valid, consider if there’s a compromise that could allow you to help with your grandchild’s treatment while still pursuing some aspect of your dream. For example, you could plan a scaled-down trip closer to home or at a later date.
This approach might bring you peace while potentially rebuilding your relationship with your daughter.
Sometimes, our entire reality can come crashing down in an instant. Here, people have shared true stories of the shocking revelations that turned their lives upside down.
Comments
This daughter is an entitled woman. Go to Paris but see a lawyer first to get your right to a home established. Why did your daughter not insure for her family's health needs? Only you know how much your daughter is telling the truth and if you are being unduly selfish. When you gave your home to your daughter, didn't you get your lawyer to ensure lifetime residence rights?
