Picture this: your dad is nearing the end of his life, and his wife (your stepmom) is living in the house you inherited from your grandparents. You’ve never had a close relationship with either of them, and you’ve made it clear that you plan to move back into the house after finishing school. But when your stepmom asks about your plans, you remind her that she’ll need to find a new place to live. Is this a heartless move, or just a man standing up for his rights? Read on to find out!
