Okay so, recently my dad has come into money and has been trying to think of various ways to help out me and my siblings if he can. (Which I appreciate! We were homeless the majority of my childhood so I think he feels bad and is trying to make up for it?)

Well I'm recently engaged to my boyfriend of 4 and a half years. My mom and dad bought this split level house, nd are offering it to us. They will pay for all remodeling and we would just pay them back the end "cost" of the house. Meaning they'd make back exactly what they spent on it and not a penny more. It's a really good deal! They plan to make it 3 bedrooms, give it a full laundry room, 1 car garage, and they're changing the layout of the kitchen and living room to make them both feel larger. They even said we could just stay there for a year and sell it for profit if we want, they wouldn't care.

The thing is though, while it's a good deal, the HISTORY of the house really REALLY bothers me. I saw the home before ANY remodeling started, and it broke my heart. there were various holes in the walls In every single wall where someone had CLEARLY punched them or worse. The owner before had 2 children, and her boyfriend was a VIOLENT sex offender that she had living with her and her children. There were various blood stains over the walls of rooms, a linen closet COVERED in blood stains, one particular room that was clearly a little boys room, the door had bloody hand prints all over it from about the door knob and down. Some stains looked older and more faded than others. They had even had tinted windows put on all the windows so you couldn't see inside the house AT ALL.

it's literally a house of horrors.

you walk in, and just feel horrible. My 6 year old brother walked into the garage, not knowing any context or seeing Any of the walls, he started crying and refused to go any further. Am I just being silly about my gut instinct not to take this home or should I stay away?
