Inlaws and Disability
I was not sure what thread to ask this under, so forgive me if this is the wrong one..... I am seeking advice as to how to handle a situation that is occuring within our family. My Father In Law became disabled last year due to a stroke, my mother in law was unable to drive to dr.'s appt's etc. and there income ended due to the stroke so my brother in law, sister in law and their 4 children decided to move in with them to *help*. They rented their home, the lease was up and they have a very good income ((close to 100K a year)) ANYWAY after they moved in at first everything was going *ok*. However they backed out of their financial support and have refused to pay ANY bills other than purchasing groceries for their family. My mother in law who is in her mid 60's now takes 8-11 trash cans to the street every week, has been "assigned" dish duty for 8 people and has to wait to do her laundry until my sister in law is done with the washer and dryer... And the list goes ON and ON..... They have also "taken" over the use of their second car so she does not have access to it on a daily basis. My husband and I are at our wits end and do NOT know how to handle this it technically is NONE of our business because she is allowing this to happen but at the same time we want to protect her..... Any advice?
