[quote=Anonymous]It's obvious that you love your mother and it's wonderful that you are trying to figure out how best to help her. But this situation is wrecking your marriage, is causing you stress when you are pregnant, creating dread about having your mother care for your children (at this point maybe you're worried about her competency?), your two year old is not getting the childcare you envision. It is time to tell you mom that she must move out. Give her a time frame and work with your husband to come up with how you might be able to assist her financially for a set period of time ($500 a month for the next year?). Commit to paying a security deposit for her on a very modest apartment. You cannot allow this to ruin your young family. As for the depression thing...yep, she probably is depressed. If I were you, I'd do a lot of legwork to arrange to get her help (identify doctors, even call and make an appointment for her and offer to drive her). If she won't communicate with you, write her a letter laying it all on the line and being clear is what you will accept and what you will not and STICK TO IT. I'm so sorry, OP. [/quote]
