I don’t believe in supporting lazy people who take advantage of others.
My father has depended on my mother for money for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t because he was unable to work, but because he was lazy and had a drinking and gambling problem. My parents eventually divorced, and my father moved in with his sister . She died in 2016, which would have made my father homeless, so my sister and I bought our aunt’s home from our cousins so he could stay there.
The money isn’t that significant, but it is more the principle of the matter to me. How do we kick our father out of the house without being total jerks? He is older and not in great health. We suspect the equally nonworking, slightly younger woman he plans to marry sees this as a chance to move into a house for free, knowing it is hard to kick out squatters. Please advise.You and your family have ALLOWED your father to continue living his life dependent upon all of you.
I am a 47-year-old woman. I have been with my partner for 10 years. He was the most amazing person in years past, but lately he has been dismissive, avoids all emotional topics and is absent for days off and on. If I bring it up, he borders on abusive. Suddenly, he’s belittling me and making me feel like I’m not the beautiful person he’s always proclaimed I was.
