You guys are going to think I'm fucked up, but here goes.
Deep breath
My dad calls and lets me know that I need to move back to Minnesota because there are more and better jobs there. To my research and resources its the same, or in fact less because of the lack of population density. Either way, I said no and really defended myself against him. He slipped up and mentioned he was under pressure. I drilled on him a bit and he confessed that my grandmother is trying to run the family again, primarily to get me to move up north away from my mom (grandma's youngest and unwanted daughter) to harm mom more than she already has. After laying the smackdown on dad because I'm tired of being between two divorced immature adults. I stood my ground the best I could until dad let me go. A few minutes later my grandma tells me she's sick and she has probably days left to live (true or not) and that I should dump my girlfriend, break my lease, sell my furniture, and move up north. I told her I was happy here and she responds with a nasty "I don't care." She's failing to understand that I am me and me likes it here. She can't control me like she can with my feeble father. She threatens me that my name will be removed from her will and I will lose thousands of dollars, and that she will give me nothing. I wanted to tell her to go fuck herself, but I didn't, probably should have. I just stated that I am staying and that's final.
TL;DR - Rimrook is a stone cold motherfucker.

I don't see anything wrong with what you did.
Smart move on not cursing her or anything too, that might save your inheritance in the long run.
You did the right thing. If you are being forced to choose between two evils, just stay exactly where you are. Your's is a pretty bad case, but you should see my Aunties and Uncles sometimes. They usually act like selfish asses.
You're not a coldhearted fucker, it is your grandmother that is being an unrealistic bitch. I would have done the same.
And yeah, doesn't seem like you did anything wrong.
Honestly mate you're a grown man now and clearly your gran hasn't grown up and sounds a lot like those religious mothers who dictate what they want their kids to hear and do.
It's good that you didn't say fuck you as you showed you are the better person. Just ignore her or state that you aren't budging and are living life how you want and that's final and hang up if she says BUT or I don't care.
Good luck.
You did the right thing
I don't see anything wrong with what you did.
Anyways, I hope everything works out for you Rim. It's a tough situation to be in for sure
Still, you made the right choice. And she might forget to take you out or something.
