My parents sold my childhood home and lied to me about it. AIBU to be heartbroken?

[WASPIT]

Just venting.

They told me they had rented it out, just to tell me eight months later that they had actually sold it.

AIBU to feel heartbroken?

I wish they had told me the truth initially

Why on earth did they feel it necessary to lie to you?

It’s not ideal they lied. Did they know you’d be upset and that’s why?

It is theirs to sell.

Heartbroken? Did they avoid telling you because they knew you reaction would be so extreme?

They can do want they like with their own home.

You’re heartbroken? Maybe that’s why they didn’t tell you.

What would your reaction have been if they'd been honest from the beginning?

People shouldn't lie. But it's their home and they can do what they want with it.

Did they lie because they knew you'd stamp your feet and make a fuss?

It’s their house not yours. I’m guessing they didn’t tell you because they knew you’d overreact.

Did they lie to you because they knew you’d massively overreact if they told you they’d sold it?

Regardless of whether they initially lied, it’s a bit dramatic to be ‘heartbroken’ over your parents selling their house. A little sad, wistful or sentimental, sure. But heartbroken seems a bit OTT.

Really odd that they lied to you.
But there's obviously much more to this because it's also odd to be "heartbroken"

Their house they can do what they want with it

YABU.

It’s their house. They can’t hold onto it because of someone else’s nostalgia

YANBU that was a bit shit of them. They could at least have given you a chance to say goodbye to the place you grew up.

Yup, YABU. It's not your house.

They obviously knew you would be a tad traumatic and entitled about it

Classic mumsnet mental answers on here. How dare anyone be sentimental?! Ridiculous. There's nothing weird about being upset about being lied to by your parents.

There must be more to this?

It depends. Had you been pestering them mot to sell?

No. Just the usual Mumsnet my parents owe me the moon on a stick bull.

Why are you heartbroken? It’s odd that they lied, but what difference would it have made telling you 8 months ago?

What’s your actual problem OP?

Did you want first refusal on the sale? Do you have the means to buy it at market rate?

YANBU OP and don't let the weirdos on here tell you otherwise. OP didn't say she didn't want them to sell, she said she was unhappy at being lied to. Did you not learn reading comprehension at primary school?

It's bricks and mortar. Assuming your parents are still alive and you can visit them wherever they live now, there's no reason to be heartbroken.

Grow up!

It’s odd to lie about it - you’re not a child. They should’ve just told you directly.
