Oh my gosh, I really need to vent to people who will understand. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law just called again asking us for money. It's such a long story to go into. It would take days to type it all out. My husband supported his mother and sister's family for several years and then got screwed in the end. He lost his job with his mother's company when they went under, ended up working a crappy job, and has now been out of work for over a year. My mother-in-law lost her farm to the IRS 'cause she didn't pay taxes. We ended up paying thousands to the IRS because when my husband worked for her she never paid them. We knew we weren't responsible because it was her fault, but she had cancer and told us she had already paid off the IRS what she owed them, which turned out to be a huge lie. She doesn't know my husband is out of work because we didn't want to stress her out. My husband and I have almost gotten divorced over this issue in the past because he will give her money without telling me and bouncing our check book. And now she wants more. We have no money to give her. My husband actually discussed it with me this time, which is something he's never done in the past. I am just speachless. How much can you give to someone? You can't get blood from a stone. I feel bad because to me family is the most important thing out there. She's mentioned coming to live with us in the past. We've had to tell her no. We don't have the room. I just don't even know what to think. She has lied to my husband his entire life, literally. Never took him to a dentist as a child because she said his father wasn't paying child support, a huge lie. Both his sisters had braces!!!! I just need to get this out to people who won't judge what I'm feeling. Thanks for listening to me.
