Mother in law is coming home in a few days, I'm devastated

I don’t even know what to say,

I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut.

Supposedly she’s going to be self reliant when she gets here,

But not being a caretaker doesn’t change the fact that I don’t want to live with her.

What a goddamned mess I’m in.

How long is she staying? Or is this a permanent type thing?

It wasn’t supposed to be,

But its a permanent type thing.

I think you need to have a serious talk with your husband before it comes to you leaving.

Why she’s back in your home?

She went to a rehab facility and now shes apparently rehabilitated and allowed to come back home.

I thought she would go to assisted living.

I just went to visit her in the rehab facility,

She keeps telling me how things are going to be different when she gets home.

Like she won’t need as much help and be able to do things for herself.

I don’t know if I believe that, she’s still using a walker.

Even if she is able to do everything she says she’ll be able to do,

Bottom line, I don’t want her living with us.

This is a bad situation, I don’t know what to do.

I’m so sorry. You will be back to square one again. All I can say is talk to your hubby and be firm with her once she is home. Make it clear to her that you call all the shots.

I agree,

I don’t want to live with her and if she’s as healthy as she says she is, she can get her own place.

Its going to be hard, but somethings got to give,

I don’t want to live like this.

Odds of your marriage ending badly if she gets in and stays: 100%

Odds of your marriage ending badly if you block the old boot: 50%

Choose wisely.

Oh sorry to hear it. Wasn’t it just a week or two ago she was put somewhere new? There’s nowhere else for her to live? What bothers me is she might act more independent at the facility than at home where she’s gonna just possibly let you guys do everything. That would be a drag.
