“Mom, I want to go back”: How I lost my home for a room

 

“Dad, I Want to Go Home”: Evicted by My Own Daughter

At 72, Víctor Manuel never imagined he’d be unwanted. Once surrounded by family, now he stood alone on a Madrid balcony, his world shattered.

His daughter, Marisol, once loving, now saw him as a burden. “Pepe and Antonio sleep on the sofa. Can’t you just stay in your room?” she snapped. Despite his quiet pleas, she forced him into a nursing home, promising care—but it was moldy, lonely, and neglected.

There, he met Carmen, another forgotten soul. They bonded over shared grief and loneliness, slowly finding comfort in each other.

But the pain deepened when he learned the truth—Marisol had abandoned his dog, Canelo, and rented out his apartment. A neighbor, Eusebio, rescued the dog and exposed her lies. Eusebio, a lawyer, offered help.

With legal support, Víctor reclaimed his home. Marisol’s paperwork was invalid. The law sided with him. He later sold the apartment, giving Marisol her share, and bought a quiet cottage.

Months later, Víctor, Canelo, and Carmen began a new chapter—one of peace, healing, and a love that came when all seemed lost.
