Imagine this: a 54 year old woman living in a duplex on one salary. This woman's daughter, husband and children (and one on the way) moved in the duplex with her. The electric bill is higher, the water bill is higher, has been a spike in the monthly mortgage. The 54 year old woman is being crushed by stress because her salary no longer covers the bills. The family that moved in contributes absolutely no money to help with expenses even though momma thought they had an agreement. The husband works but says he never knows what his salary will be because he is not always paid full salary, in spite of this, purchased a vehicle. The 54 year old woman wants to move out of the house in hopes lowering expenses but family feels they cannot afford to rent an apartment or purchase a home on their own and want to move wherever she goes. Momma loves them and does not mind helping but this is too much. They asked her where are they going to put the new baby - Asked momma if she would let them have her room because it is bigger. Piles of stuff in every corner of the house - cannot keep anything uncluttered. Stressed out and depressed with seemingly no way out.......any advice? Any known source of help for someone in such a situation? Should this mother allow them to move into her room? Any suggestions?
