[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 499604, member: 2211"] Well, Janet, I agree that you are between a rock and a hard place. Tony is unwilling to tell his brother no. I'm so sorry. The first thought I had was how about putting together some info on local shelters, finding people who may barter with brother in law with him providing labor to get his pos car fixed. Or, how about as he applies for unemployment, he also applies for Medicaid. I'm just thinking that if you need to compromise with Tony, it's acceptable and reasonable for you to lay out certain obligations for Buck to meet. He needs to contribute, he needs to respect your need for privacy, he needs to provide for himself and clean up, etc. Just like a boarder, but without very clear boundaries, it's easy for family to take advantage. I personally would have a one week limit and then he'd either have to get something else set up or go to a shelter. Sounds cold, but at least it shows you're willing to be helpful in some way. Hugs.
