Her daughter and son-in-law expected her to sell the house to them for far below market value - and this is basically her retirement income. She refused to, and there was some bad blood, and they packed up and moved out East and don't talk to her anymore.

Reminds me of a fellow I know who asked his parents for money. They refused and the son cut off all contact with his parents including access to their grandchildren. It's a #####ty thing to do, especially because his father and the kids' grandfather died not having seen his grandchildren for over a decade.
