Hi confusedand hurt

You laid it on the line, and you are BOTH adults now. We all make our own mistakes in life, but you deserve at least a shot at living your own life and making your own mistakes. If her staying with you causes a significant strain on your marriage and family life, she's going to have to go find another place to stay.

I'm sorry your mother has had such bad luck with relationships - but it's not your fault, and it's not your responsibility. Your chances of mending and healing the relationship you have with her will be much better if you're not living under the same roof - or having to carry each other's burden.
Thanks for this!
