First, you are not forcing them out of their home. They decided to sell, and the contract is not contingent on them finding another home,
I suggest you speak to an attorney. This is business, and the sellers have a lot of nerve asking you to disrupt your life for them, Best of luck, whatever you decide.
The only person you can change is yourself.

You fell in love with the house? Don't withdraw your offer!
It's not your responsibility to find the sellers a new place to go. They signed a contract with you and agreed to a closing date. If you aren't in a pickle where you have to get out of where you are now....I would negotiate a later closing date to give them more time.
But you don't owe them that, even! That would just be nice karma to allow them another 3 months max to find a place to go.
When we sold our marital home, I suddenly didn't have a place to go ironed out (my "new" townhome turned out to be disgustingly old and mildewed) so we asked could we push back the closing date. The buyers didn't blink an eye with saying nope. They had contractors lined up left and right to paint, replace, etc. and didn't care one red cent about our situation.
And rightfully so! We had signed a contract saying we were selling them our house on a certain day. Our loss.
Don't give up the house. See if you can work out a later date. If not, don't fret. It's business.

Thanks for all your support and comments!
Well, I GOT THE HOUSE!
My realtor sent me a text this morning that asked me to call him when I had a free moment at work.
Apparently there was some miscommunication between the realtors (not mine) and some communication back and forth over the holiday weekend that I was not aware of. The sellers are going to sell me the house after all and move in to the place they originally had an offer on. Apparently they settled their differences!
They apologized for the frustration they caused.
I guess it was worth while for me to delay my response until today.
I just hope that is the end of this drama!

I'm glad it ended up working out for you.
My first thought was that they regretted selling it to you for the price that they did, and that they were going to try to take a different offer, or re-sell it at a higher price.

Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.
