MIL rant

Before I even get into details I just want to say I really don’t care for advice or anyone telling me what they would have done if they were me. This is solely just to vent and maybe find someone else who is going through anything like this... with that said I’ll start from the beginning.

Me and my husband have been together for over 5 years. We stared dating as teens and now we’re still together. When I first met my MIL I noticed some red flags that seemed a little... odd. Maybe it’s odd to me just because my family has always been just regular people. Wake up, work, have a stable home. A few things that really stand out to me are when I was first getting to know her she would ask to borrow my husbands truck in the middle of the night. She would leave his baby brother on the bed alone and take off somewhere. It would always be to some place that totally could have waited like going to Walmart for nail polish or going to buy a dress she saw on offer up for sale. Then I noticed she would always be evicted from somewhere. It seemed like every 3 months they were being kicked out of any cheap apartment they were at. Then later on I found out my husband had been paying for groceries, light bill and his mom, dad and brothers phone bills. I thought that was really strange especially since he was only 18 and his dad worked full time and his mom was a stay at home wife...

Fast forward to us actually getting married. We rented a nice one bedroom apartment and planned on trying for a baby. After a month of living together his mom shows up one night hysterically crying saying his dad cheated on her and she was gonna move in.... okay we lived in a small one bedroom apartment. She showed up with brother, baby brother and a huge pit bull that was not potty trained. They put a baby crib, blow up mattress and every belonging they owed in the living room. Our living room was so packed. I’m not to person to throw someone out on the streets, but I eventually had enough when she never listened to be or picked up after herself. So, once again MIL had to move.

Now fast forward to the present. She still hasn’t stayed stable. She’s lost custody of her youngest because she couldn’t keep him in school and the other brother has a job to support her while she runs around all day hanging out with friends and hitting the club on the weekends. She still calls us to see how we’re doing and ask if we can pay a bill or let her borrow money.
