[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is very very hard to read. Easily top five on the scale of not caring.

I would never EVER put my mother on the street or in some drug and crime infested low income housing. WTF is wrong with you people ?

You can replace a husband. You cannot replace your mother. Some of these posts are written in such hateful ways. I shouldn't be shocked but considering how DC is I'm not. And most don't even see what they are saying. Just drop Mom off at a crackhouse. Let her fend for herself. [/quote]

I think people aren’t heartless but rather poor at communicating and setting boundaries . OP’s mom is out of line. She doesn’t get to act like that just because she’s the mom and needs help. And it’s easier for most of us to just end things instead of learning how to deal with others’ uncomfortable emotions when we set and firmly maintain our boundaries.

And no OP cannot replace her husband. Even if the position was just an interchangeable title, I don’t think anybody would want to marry her if they knew it would involve living with her mom. [/quote]
