My mom and I used to live in my grandmother's house until her death. My grandmother has always been frail and in and out of hospitals all the time. She never took care of herself(alcholic & smoker). My mom, who is divorced spent years taking care of her. Now I know people can leave their estate to whoever they want, but what my grandmother did in her will is just spiteful. After my grandmother's death we found out that she left her entire house to my aunt who lives states away and never even visited my grandmother. Right after my grandmother's death my aunt gave us 30 days notice to get out. So now we are living in a horrible apartment in a bad area. I help my mom out with the rent. I can't believe what my aunt did after all my mom did for my grandmother. So all those years my mom devoted to taking care of my grandmother, and she gets nothing. My mother spent so much money to take care of my grandmother. My mom and aunt who spoke occasionally now have cut off all ties and hate each other. Its very sad.
Anyway, my mother has never had much money. She has a HS diploma and has worked low paying jobs all her life(waitressing, receptionist, ect.). My mom has never owned her own home because of my dad getting the house in the divorce and then moving in with my grandmother to take care of her, and I think she deserves to have a home of her own. I am in college and had saved a lot of money so I could move out on my own. I would have liked to live on my own. I have enough saved to where I could help my mom buy a house. Only thing is, I would have nothing left over and I would have to live with my mom for 3 more years until I finish college. By that time I'll be approaching my late 20's. But if I don't help my mom out she'll be living in crummy apartments forever. I really think she deserves a house, and I would like to help her out, but feel bad about still living at home. But then again I am contributing to buying the house, so its not like I'm completely dependent. My mom really thought she was getting an inheritance from my grandmother and had counted on that to get her own house. If she had gotten an inheritance she could've afforded a house without my help. But if I don't help her out, my mother will never own her own home.
