Seeking Advice: Denied a Stay in the Homes I Purchased for My Children

Dear Life Advice Society,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Avery, and I am in a situation that I never anticipated, which has left me feeling both hurt and confused. I am reaching out to your community in hopes of gaining some perspective and advice on how to proceed.

For the past several years, I have worked tirelessly abroad to provide a better life for my family. During this time, I managed to save enough to buy each of my three children – Eric, Ellie, and Alexa – an apartment. My intention was to give them security and a solid foundation as they transitioned into adulthood.

Recently, I returned to my home country, looking forward to spending some time with each of them. However, to my dismay, when I asked if I could stay with them temporarily, each of them told me it wasn’t a good time, and essentially, they refused to let me stay even for a night. This rejection was both shocking and hurtful, especially considering the sacrifices I made for their wellbeing.

I am struggling to understand their behavior and am unsure how to address this issue without causing further strain in our relationships. How should I approach this delicate situation? Is there a way to express my feelings without alienating them further? I truly value the bonds we share and am afraid of damaging these irreparably.

Thank you for reading my letter. Any advice from your readers would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Avery
