Back to square one

By Who-is-living-with-whom - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, my mother finally finalized her divorce! Unfortunately, she'll have to sell the house, and when she does, she'll move in with me. I only moved out a month ago. FML

Make sure she understand that she's moving into YOUR place and that it's YOUR rules, not hers. Good luck, OP.

You should help her look for her own place, one she can afford. And, if you can't find one right away, let her stay with you but tell her it's your rules and it's just until she gets back on her feet and can find her own place again.

Speak your mind, but please try and be respectful.

F her life more than yours, wow. She finally got the house to herself and not only does she have to sell it, she has to move in with you, not to mention the emotional toll of divorce and your preoccupation with how her struggle will affect you...

Well...look at it this way. Your part of the rent is going down as long as she's there.

OP, you don't have to if you don't want to, there's no way your Mom can legally force you to take her if you prefer to live alone. The divorce can even work in your favor on that one. If your father didn't want to live with her, no one could blame you for not wanting to either. It doesn't mean you are cold hearted, it just means you have a sense of self-preservation. which you are entitled to have. Be blessed OP, take care, hope all goes well for you.
