So my H asked her about that today. She exploded on us saying she'll never ask for anything from us, she doesn't ever want to see us, etc. She throws a tantrum every time something doesn't go her way. I'm sick and tired of my family. And I'm so tired of helping people out and then they stab us in the back.
I would suggest setting very firm boundaries to protect your emotional energy now. You've helped her a lot in the past. Give her a date to move out by and to contact the shelter. Quit paying and babysitting for her.
Thanks for this!
