[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this is actually your problem, OP. Move on.[/quote]
It’s her MIL. It is her DH’s problem and hers as well. So tired of the selfish DCUM coven. Sorry, you’re not living in a vacuum. We all have to help sometimes. [/quote]

The MIL has chosen to support and live with a mentally ill person who sounds like he has great potential to become violent. Realistically, there isn’t anything OP can do without exposing herself or others to potential harm.

They can’t hire nurses to help MIL and send them into a home with this guy because they’d be exposing others to harm and themselves to liability.

If they need the house $ to fund her care, that’s impossible as he won’t leave and they can’t sell a hoarder house occupied by a mentally ill person.

Plus, how can they even get her physically out of the house and into care, even if they pay? Fight him and kidnap her? She would probably refuse to go. Tie her up?

It’s easy to criticize people for being “selfish” when you have no clue. Realistically OP should do as the PP says and stay out of it, no good is coming to her for helping, only a bag of trouble.[/quote]
