Things just ain’t the same since Whitney Houston passed away.  As with any death, the family is dealing with the loss but there are internal issues that always arise.

You may have heard by now that Whitney had a 22 year old son, Nick Gordon.  Gordon wasn’t Houston’s biological child, but she cared for him for over 10 years and raised him as if he were her own after his own mother couldn’t take care of him.

While no official paperwork was done, Whitney claimed Nick as her “adopted” child.

Cissy Houston, Whitney’s mom, is in control of Houston’s estate and is making major changes to make sure her granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina, who has reportedly had her own problems with drugs and alcohol, doesn’t travel the same path as her famous Mom and Dad.

Reportedly, one of those changes is kicking Nick out of Bobbi Kristina’s life AND her Atlanta home!

TMZ is reporting that Cissy is on a mission to eradicate the bad influences from Bobbi Kristina’s life … and she’s starting with Nick, the 22-year-old man who Whitney treated like her very own son.

Cissy Houston believes Nick is a bad influence on her granddaughter and wants him OUT of the Houston family home in Atlanta … ASAP.

We’re told Cissy has already informed her lawyers about the eviction … in case he puts up a fight.

There is speculation that Gordon may get a portion of Whitney’s estimated $20 million dollar estate, if she included her in the will.  If not… sources say that Bobbi Kristina, who grew up with Nick and treats him as her brother, will make sure he’s ok:

Nick was family, she loved him as much as any mother could love a child.

If he is not written into her will and everything goes to Bobbi then it will only be because it was written before she took Nick into her family.

If that’s the case, Bobbi will make sure Nick is taken care of because it’s what her mom would have wanted and he’s like a brother.

Cissy may be feeling some kinda way after finding out about Nick’s legal issues.

In 2011 Gordon was charged with gun possession in Roswell, Georgia, after a night out with Bobbi Kris, but apparently he was only taking up for his lil sister.

Nick reportedly pulled the gun on Bobbi Kristina’s ex-boyfriend after the couple had gotten into a fight. The same night Bobbi K. was also arrested for being in possession of alcohol as a minor.

I totally understand WHY Cissy feels the need to protect her granddaughter, but perhaps she’s going about it the wrong way.  Thoughts?
