Is it me? This woman has annoyed me since I was married to her son 30 years ago. I should have known she would be a pain the ass then. She even picked on not having a wedding photo of people she wanted. What's even worse is she lives across the street and soon will be living upstairs because of finacial problems. Nice, ha! Her son moved out and lives with another for 3 years and as of July we are divorced and, I'll be stuck with his fuckin mother! I can't move - can't afford it. At least my kids - 22, & 26 - live home - so keep me busy when they wiz in and out. My ex comes home almost every day. He said it's for the kids-bullshit! He comes in, says hello if they're here, gives me a peck on the cheek, and goes across the street or works on the apartment upstairs. What can I do to keep sane before I'm in the local paper for murder!

Why are you allowing this? If you are divorced you have NO obligation to her. Let her son worry about her and her financial problems!

I'm sorry to be so harsh, but you just don't need t he added BS.

Alert: boundary invasion! Let her live with sonny boy, and tell him he is not welcome to stop by without calling. Boundaries!

There is no way on God's green earth that my MIL, Endora as I like to call her, would ever live with me, married or not.

Do not put up with this. I don't know anything about your relationship during your marriage, but to me this stinks like "let RiS deal with my problems" kind of behavior. it's totally inconsiderate of him, particularly if he knows you never got along. I'd tell him that she is no longer welcome and that you have no obligation to her whatsoever.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
