AITA for buying my parents old house?

My parents are divorced. They have been for a long time.

My fiancé and I are on the hunt for a house.

It just so happens that the childhood home that I grew up in is for sale!

It’s had many nice renovations and is perfectly within the budget.

This woman’s parents have mixed reactions to the house.

I walked into this house, and my eyes began to tear up.

It just felt right.

My mom is encouraging that I pursue this house if it feels right.

My dad, however, said that if I buy this house, he will never set foot in it.

She’s worried about her dad if she buys the house.

For context, he lives alone in a small apartment.

He has limited friends and family other than me. He is already somewhat isolated.

I’m worried that buying this house will only cause tension, and it might bring about further isolation on his part.

She doesn’t want to hurt her dad’s feelings.

I think maybe he has bad memories with the house because of their divorce.

He says it’s “cursed.”

I worry that buying this house will hurt his feelings. It might bring up bad memories for him.

I feel like a jerk for even considering their old home. AITA for wanting to buy this house?

That’s a tricky situation to be in. Maybe she should talk to her dad about why he wouldn’t want to set foot inside the home.
