My Late Partner’s Parents Suddenly Appeared & Demanded I Give Them the Keys to His House — I Agreed under One Condition

When Jason was 17, his parents threw him out. My mom took him in, and he became family.

We built our lives together—me in HR, him in tech. Then, four years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. I handled the house and mortgage while he held onto hope his parents would change. They never did.

A month after his funeral, they demanded his house. I refused. When they pushed, I handed them Jason’s final letter: I forgive you. I hope you forgive yourselves.

Defeated, they left. The house—Jason’s legacy—was mine to protect. And I would carry his memory, always.
