It’s a long story,would you let your wife’s druggie daughter destroy your life?
Wednesday, 5. May 2010
My wife’s daughter is 33 and hooked on drugs.She has already been denied custody of her 3 kids and they stay with their dad.She just got evicted from her house,has no car,no money,and says no place to stay.She started on prescription drugs and now shoots up or does whatever she can get.I got laid off work in Jan and my wife has not worked since last July so she could be with her family whenever she wants(they live 100 miles away),my wife goes to visit them at least once a month,sometimes more even though we are struggling to survive ourselves.
I have been keeping us afloat by spending my savings from a sale of my house I owned before we got married.Now we are having to move because on unemployment we cannot keep living in our present house and there are no jobs here.Now my wife wants to move her druggie daughter in with us who has stayed with us a few times before for a short while.She is nasty,is like living with a rat,because she gets into the food pantry and fridge into everything,leaving bags of chips open and picking at her sores then touching food,she’s just nasty.
Anyway here it is:If I don’t find a decent paying job soon I am going to have to sell my Harley,maybe my car,and some property we own in Arkansas which I am still paying on.All of these things I had when we got married except the property in Ark which we bought with procedes from the sale of my house,she still has a house but it is rented out.She does not help with our bills and now wants to add her daughter to our problems.I know it is hard to walk away from your child,but I feel her daughter needs to hit rock bottom in order to decide that she wants to get help.Right now she thinks everything will be ok as long as someone takes her in for the night.
So do I continue spending on us to live,until I have nothing or do I leave now while I still have a chance to salvage at least a little part of MY life?
