So my question is, how do I tell my mother-in-law, or my husband, that my mother-in-law is holding us back financially?

She's 60 years old.

She doesn't work.

We pretty much pay for everything, her rent.

My husband has her car in his name, but she pays, like, the car note.

And she's constantly asking for money.

Like, at one point, she was asking me for money and telling me not to tell my husband.

Yikes.

Well, this is a pattern.

This has been happening for a long time.

Yes.

And he's in the past, maybe about 10 years ago, she actually lost her apartment, like, stopped

paying rent, lost it, and then had to move in with a friend. And so he's been taking care of her. Is she unwell? Is she sick? She's not sick. She does collect, like, a check from the government. I think it's only $1,000. Disability? Yeah, disability. Do you know what that was for? What's the nature of that?

I don't know.

Okay.

But nothing that you're seeing as a real issue to her working.

No, because I've seen her volunteer her time at like homeless shelters or like thrift stores.

And she'll tell me, oh, I volunteered my time.

And they gave me a discount on X, Y, and Z.

She's on the verge of being in a homeless shelter.
