If her kid is very young, I can understand the difficulty with work. At the same, time, its not like she's completely unable to make money. She doesn't have the right to complain about how you spend your money. How is she even paying for the rent if she isn't working?

If you are worried about her leeching off of you, keep track of your spending on her and her kid for a given month, and compare it to the rent. If they're way out of balance, bring it up with her. If she acts entitled, let her know she isn't.


I don't remember this post. I hope I made it while sobner.. right now, I'm not, so please take anything I say with a very large grain of salt.

What she has done: She has thrown away our real chance for survival by losing about ten months of income. Then she treats the idea that she might have done something wrong with contempt. She is spitting on me, her daughter, and herself and she has given us a much more difficult job of recovery, which I might as well call impossible.

Had I treated her this contemptuously she would have killed me.
