[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP, because my family and I were forced by circumstances to move back in with my parents for a few months - the alternative being to live under a bridge.

PPs have no idea what it is like to grit your teeth and be grateful for houseroom when the "generous giver" acts as if this entitles him or her to making your life miserable, day in, day out. DH and I had vowed to be as quiet and clean and generally unobtrusive as possible. I cleaned and cooked and washed up. My mother never lifted a finger. Yet she was verbally abusive to DH and I every.  single.  day. I cried a lot. It was hard on our marriage. My three year old daughter processed all this and said: "I don't like Grandma. She is mean." My father refused to engage, but ended up enabling my mother.

Luckily, my wonderful BIL saved us and gave us houseroom until we found a job and got back on our feet.

My mother still does not understand how badly our relationship with her has been damaged. She thinks we should be eternally grateful. No. It is my BIL I feel deeply indebted to.

Just do your best to survive until you can get out, OP.[/quote]
