Re: movin MIL in
Ive lived with her before, and shes really not that bad, shes been told she will have to smoke outside due to i dont want her smoking around my son, and she respects that. The front porch is screened in, so she wont have to worry about bugs bothering her, or if its raining.
She visits a mental health dr every 3 months, and they make regular visits. She does have COPD and shes on Oxygen at night to help her sleep. I dont think she would do anything crazy, shes only tried to kill herself twice and thats been many years ago, back when my husband was still a child.
Shes an okay person until her youngest son pushes her buttons, he knows just much it takes to get on her nerves and he will just keep on at her until she explodes. Hes told her he hates her and wishes she would die, so I honestly believe thats why she is the way she is. Im hoping that getting her out of that environment will change her attitude, and her mental status. Shes been mistreated by both her kids, put down and stepped on by family members, so I think this may have a lot to do with whats wrong with her.
I dont think she would do anything to hurt us, we're the only ones that has been there for her when she needed us. I was the only one that would take her to the dr when she needed to go, or to the hospital when her oxygen level got too low and she couldnt breath, so maybe this is a good change for her. I sure hope so, for my family's sake anyways...
