[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP no one here, including you, knows if Mary has a mental illness. I'm assuming that you are decent enough that you wouldn't put a mentally ill person who is related to you to live on the street when there is a home available. So I suggest you speak with Mary. Ask her does she have any health issues or psychiatric problems. If she says yes, get proof by attending a doctors appointment with her or having her provide a letter from her doctor. Then you can decide. Mary's behavior suggests to me that there's something going on with her mentally, not just laziness.

Once you have the information you can decide if you want to put a mentally I'll relative on the street or let her stay and make other arrangements. And if she doesn't have any health or mental problems you can proceed to evict her if you wish, without guilt or wondering what if she's really sick?[/quote]

I'm not sure why you think Mary will be out on the street.  Mary was left a significant amount of money, a car, and has a job.  Maybe she's underemployed for her education, but she should be able to pay rent.  She may even be able to buy a modest home with her own money.  [/quote]

+1. I bet that's also the person suggesting the op live in the basement and let Mary keep the house.[/quote]

+1 - why on earth would you live in the basement of the house you now own so that a 50 y/o, who had every opportunity to get her life together and chose not to, can live in the master bedroom??? More importantly, why is it, when someone chooses to live a life of laziness and entitlement, do people jump on the mental illness bandwagon???

I bet if Mary were a man, the conversation would be much different. People would be calling him a lazy piece of shit.

But the fact remains, Mary is older, single, underemployed for her education, has no family/children, therefore, something must be mentally wrong with her. It's nonsense.

I can think of MANY people, most of them I grew up with, who were highly intelligent, very functional, and still live in their parents basements. Why? Because they grew up thinking that everything in life was handed to them - because they had parents that gave them everything they wanted and never made them work for it. That is Mary - mom never made her work for anything - instead - taking her in, letting her live with her, and financing her life.[/quote]
