| Hey everyone. I will keep this as short as I can. We are newlyweds. But we haven't really had a honeymoon phase no room for a breather we had a lot of money related problems due to medical bills. We finally are getting that under control. My husband health has improved and were getting back to "normal". The last thing I have to take care of is my mom. I love my mom she is great and she has done far beyond what any mom could ask for. My husband was blind for half of year and she stepped in to help out with his medications, took him to the hospital, so I could continue working. She was living like in a assisted living that helps moms get back on their feet. My mom has my little brother is about 6. (Not planned.) She fell unto some hard ship so she went to this program for help. She was staying there for a few years until the cut backs happened and she is on her own. This happened while my mom was visiting us and helping out where I had to work. The program got cut and she had no place to live. So I spoke to my husband about it. And he said she can stay with us for a little bit and plus she is helping you out "me". So she moved in with us. Continued to help out and all the medical stuff that she was helping out over time my husbands health improved. He has kidney issues, he got a transplant, (I was the donor) All this happened in the same year crazy I know. Over time he got better his vision got fixed and he is cleared from the transplant tail of of last year. When things calmed down I told my mom a lot of times that we would help her get back on her feet no matter what it is. That if everything went ok she could stay 1-2 years tops because of her situation and because she also gave up a year of her life to help my husband. We felt the least we could do is open up our home to her. The problem is we can't afford her living there anymore. We were barely making it with us two. And my husband is not in the condition to work yet, he is going to school and taking up classes for jobs since he has been out of work for more than six years. (New Career). Due to his medical issues. My mom does not work and she is capable of working I gave her a lot of programs that could help her. Because of our bills and the things we have to pay off. I told her that we couldn't afford for her to live there anymore. She would either need to get a job to assist us financially. Or if she couldn't do that than she would need to move out later on this year. Specifically she would need to move out by November. (Because of our winter bills we knew she couldn't stay longer than that.) My mom has a little time left and she is aware of our financial situation and it was all suppose to be temporary anyway. Were pushing about a year and a half. A huge part of me is worried that she won't be prepared. But another part of me is excited to have the house back to ourselves again and free up the room. I love my brother but he is at that age and were use to it being quiet so the adjustment has been hard. I have come to terms that If my mom is not ready than she is going to have to stay in a shelter because we can't afford her and my little brother for staying there. It is hard I feel like part of me is not being a good daughter and part of me is doing the right thing because I have my own responsibilities. Has anyone been in a situation like this before where you had to do what was best for you but you still felt guilty about it? -Thanks for reading -Kris | |||
