I’m 31 happily married and own a home with no children.
My mom has been living in a trailer that she can not afford for about the past 3 years. She is bipolar, has paranoid thoughts, has anxiety and is overall a very mean rude person. She refuses to work (she has just turned 50)so she can’t pay any bills. Her bills have built up to a point that she can not pay for anything. I have been taking her to see Medicaid, food stamp and mental heath professionals but at this point it’s to late to help her with her bills. She thinks she is going to be evicted on the 15th which is tomorrow. I always check on her to make sure she is paying her rent and bills and she flat out lied to me this month. I am so angry with her because I feel my whole life I have done nothing but care for her. When I was a child I did these things. Now she has put her self in this irreversible situation and once again I have to pick up the pieces of her life. So now she has no where to go. Obviously she will move in to my home, but I really don’t want her here. She is very difficult to deal with, she troughs tantrums, is delusional not to mention paranoid. She only thinks of herself and I am afraid that this will wind up running my marriage. My husband is a wonderful man and supports me but i’m afraid he won’t be able to handle that full time like I do.
I can not put my mom on the street. Everyone tells me this is what I need to do but I refuse. She made the bad decisions that have gotten her to this point, and will continue to make bad decisions after she moves in here. I have told her in order to move in she needs to have a job, she needs to clean up her messes, she needs to pay some rent and bills and she needs to store her things like her couch and big stuff i can’t store. She also has 6 pets that she will have to get rid of, I can not afford these pets and they need good safe homes. They pee and poop all over her house because she will not train them. She says she can not work and she can not live with out her dogs. I don’t know what to do. She is stubborn enough to keep her dogs and live in her car. I can’t handle the thought of my 50 year old mother in a car. This is ridicules!!!
If anyone can offer me any advise on what to do that would be really great. I feel like I am fighting a loosing battle and I don’t want my mom to be another statistic.
