    Sounds like when my ex husband and I allowed my brother to stay, he ended moving in his wife; having a tantrum when told they'd need to contribute- and still to this day he talks shit about us asking for money when he lived rent free for 6-8 months. Also, shared a car so he could use one of ours while his was in the shop. Folks truly be having the audacity.

    I think it still surprises some people when guys do this to their own family. Which is strange since they do it to their own family (wife and children) so often that it's "just a part of life."
    Both my grown brothers were like this with our mother. She let them live with her well into their twenties. She even let them move back after already leaving in their twenties once or twice each. Both left their room a literal biohazard. That's not an exaggeration. The rooms stank, there was moldy dishes, cups with solid rotten milk, pee bottles, bedding with all sorts of stuff soaked into it, there were always flies everywhere and all that entails.
    They never paid rent or bills, they didn't do housework unless my mother threatened to kick them out, and were very disrespectful to her the entire time. She raised us on gender roles though, so what more could she expect.
    They finally both found women to live with instead. Not sure how they convinced anyone they were datable at that point in their lives, but they did. Idk about my older brother since I don't talk to him, but I do know his marriage is a 💩 show, but my younger brother got his life together for the most part. They both have large families (5 kids, 3kids), and at least my younger brother is an active participant in the house and with the children.

    My dad did this to me. He moved in with my husband, my two kids, and I just after we bought our first home- he had nowhere else to go as he had worn out his welcome everywhere else. He ended up living with us for two year and among other things severely limited our family’s development and growth.

  • @Sanakudou
    @Sanakudou 17 часов назад +38

    He’s had a manic episode in the past that was bad enough to require police intervention, that alone should’ve been grounds to not trust him to be in her house alone with her kids, let alone to continue to allow him to live in proximity to her kids.
    Mental illness is an awful thing to deal with and I do sincerely sympathise with those who suffer from them, but the reality is there are certain mental illnesses, specifically ones that involve either manic or psychotic episodes, that have a high risk of resulting in harm being done to the people around them. I’ve seen the same scenario play out in so many true crime cases, a parent lets a mentally ill and unemployed sibling move in and that sibling ends up killing one or all of them, often in direct response to being pressured to get a job, financially contribute to the household and/or to finally move out.
    Once you’ve a parent, all your loyalty has to be to your children, you can’t compromise their safety for anyone else. This woman is fortunate she got him to move out and his mental illness didn’t result in anything bad happening, but it’s definitely not a risk she should ever make again.
    Another small lesson that can be learned from her story is to always be skeptical of someone offering to help you without asking for anything in exchange for it. Most people’s motivations for doing so isn’t rooted in selflessness. Always ask yourself the question: what does this person stand to gain from “helping” you?
    Her brother offering to watch her kids whilst she was away was a major red flag because he had something VERY obvious to gain from “helping” her: the ability to move into her house and put himself in a position where he can refuse to ever leave.

      This ☝️ the manic episode would’ve given me pause. I understand wanting to help a sibling - been there- but the severe mental illness in the past is a potential problem. This nam has definitely got issues beyond the garden variety entitlement most of these nemz have.
      A non-blood relative nearly killed her mother and would’ve if the father hadn’t stopped her. She’s been to a hospital for mentally ill people at least once and was prescribed meds, which helped her. However. She’s had several weird potentially dangerous episodes since then and we’ve now cut contact as she refuses to go back to her therapist or to take her meds.
      A line has to be drawn somewhere. Her daughter has found her a safe place to stay and seems to manage the situation but we are well out of it as she’s a loose cannon.

    It would have been better to not let him in her house or around her kiddos. Men have to find their own way or be homeless. Do not help them; this is counterintuitive, but it is what’s best. He should be self-motivated to do what he needs to do, reach out to other guys, or flail.

  • @tanyalance2023

    This happened to me. My ex allowed my nephew to live with us because my nephew claimed to be homeless. He stayed for two years and got mad at me when I would ask about how was it going regarding getting back on his feet. I asked this like three times. After a year and a half my ex was like you have to move. He said he didn’t have any money. Not my problem. He was working but he went out because he “didn’t think I wanted him there “. We have him three months and he never looked for a place to live and finally decided to buy a car to live in.
    Well. When he went to get the car there was a snow storm and I gave him another week. He left but there was a lot of his stuff still at my house. I asked him about it and he said that I threw him out of the house on the middle of a snow storm with no place to live. He also told family members I threw him out. I don’t speak to him but if he is at a family gathering I am cordial.

    My dad got me every other weekend as custody, and it was always at my AUNT'S PLACE! Loved seeing family that wasn't toxic, but he was a leech with a job and who knows how many girlfriends.
    I don't know how they put up with him.
    At one point, they told him not to drop the toilet seat a million times, and he didn't listen-- it smashed against the bowl. Also ruined their basement with garbage!
    Not his home. Not his things, but he didn't care about them or me.

    Sorry, this happened to her. He's not a child or disabled and he's definitely not HER child so she's not responsible for him. I'm not blaming her, of course, she was trying to maintain a sibling relationship with him and not "kick him" when he's down. However, firm boundaries are needed. If you tell him to clean his room and he doesn't, you lock his @ out.

      This ☝️ mental illness is extremely difficult to manage and many families have shame around it and go into denial, which makes everything a lot worse. I’ve seen it up close in non-blood relatives, so have cut ties, as they refuse medical care.

      Yea, couch cushions and pillows will need replacing if someone is routinely sleeping on them. My husband has a sofa in his office and we have one in our living room. He likes to sleep in the living room because of the openness and air circulation from having high ceilings. He knows we have to replace them annually and doesn’t make a fuss. Personally, it doesn’t bother me so long as he keeps it looking new. He takes multiple showers daily so we’ve never had a problem with any odors or stains.
