[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all. Yes, she bought an apartment that's about 6 miles from my home.  A relative of mine is pressuring her to move in with me/offering my house as an incentive for her to get treatment.  It is frustrating because - you all are right - I *DO* need a sanctuary.  I have the wellbeing of my own children to look out for as well.

Because my mother IS difficult/bipolar/etc, she bought the apartment over half a year ago, and I leant her an aerobes for her "first night" there, but now she has refused to buy other furniture for it and always complains about how uncomfortable her own apartment is, and that mine feels like a "spa" by comparison. I am tempted to just order her some IKEA furniture. But then I would be enabling her in some weird way and she would probably tell me how much she absolutely hates the furniture, etc.

Right now she says she wants to "rent out" her apartment as I think she is plotting to try to move in with me.....

I do need to create boundaries.....and as some helpful posters said before, create a sanctuary for myself.[/quote]

OP, you cannot let her move in with you. There is zero reason for her to move in, and once she's in your house, you will never get her to leave. Seriously, you won't. She'll rent out her apartment and then you'll have no way to get rid of her without making her homeless. [/quote]
