Current State of Affairs

Recap of my last Steptalk blog:

My SO has 2 daughters in their late 20s with BM1 and 2 sons with BM2. The daughters were moved out of state by their BM when they were maybe 4 and 6. Both have emotional problems but i’m not sure what their diagnoses are. SD26 has lived in our state on and off a few times since turning 17, but is currently living with BM1 in her state with her baby. She and the father have already split up. SD28 has not lived in this state since about age 6.

SD28 recently called SO stating her car died and she is about to become homeless. SO told her he would buy a new vehicle but she has to move in with him. He told her she can have his master bedroom and he will just stay at my house. His 21-year-old son lives with him fulltime and he has 50/50 of his 15-year-old.

Well, SO sent the money to SD28 and she bought the car. SO borrowed the money from family to pay for it. I sort of think SD, having the car now, may renege on the deal to move here. I think her moving here is a bad idea. I didn’t plan to have SO and I live together until he gets his kids sorted. Also, SD’s behavior and emotional issues are hard to tolerate. Plus BM2 will likely have something to say about SO having custody of SS15 but not actually being in the home with him.

Anyway, i’ll keep you guys posted. Thanks for doing the new site, Aniki!

...she can have his master bedroom and he will just stay at my house...

Wait, WHAT? Did you agree to that? It sounds like a terrible idea.

Lord no. Who gives a child, even an adult child, the master bedroom in a house they (not the child) pay for?!

Re: Current State of Affairs

I agree with Aniki - plus - if he gives SD28 his room and comes to live at yours, what happens when his 15 yr old comes? Do the SD and the SS just look after him?  I do think a 28 yr old should be finding their own accommodation and car money.

Re: Current State of Affairs

That's so crazy Rumplestilkskin. I seriously cannot wrap my head around the idea of a grown a$$ man telling his adult daughter she can move in and take his bedroom. And then the audacity to expect that he thinks you would just take him in. And then the whole issue of the 15 year old. All I can say is I hope you have some clear boundaries in place so that he can't move in when she comes around.

Re: Current State of Affairs

That's hard to absorb...all what he's giving her. My advice does not change from our old board. Do NOT let that man move in. I wouldn't even let him sleep over. He can come visit, you can have your private time together and then send him to HIS house to care for his 15 year old. Enjoy waking up in your home to peace and quiet. Careful if you let him stay the entire night...you will end up with a 15 year old in your home and the other adults will be knocking on your door. 

Make it difficult for him. Nothing good will come from this new plan of his. Do your best to not let it negatively impact you.
