Karma bus hits BM, sideswipes SD

So it seems that BM is in terrible financial trouble. We are not surprised, well maybe just a bit that it took so long.

She built a vacation home with her exBF, they broke up just as it was finished. She couldn't afford to live in it, so she rented it out, while it was for sale. It was eventually sold and a tidy profit was made. She refused to give exBF any of the proceeds, saying he left and she had all the responsibilities of the house, and he sued her.

The proceeds were split but because she kept all the rental income, she had to pay him his share. So in the end she got a lot less of the proceeds than she thought she'd be getting and had to pay lawyers and court fees. We also discovered that she had to have the skids cosign the 4th mortgage. It then went into foreclosure and she had to find a 5th mortgage! Luckily, it finally sold and the skids credit is still good. Who does that to their children???

Now her primary home is in foreclosure and she's had to get renters in or she'll lose it. She tried to sell it last year but was asking too much and cannot sell it for less or she won't have any money to even rent. What the h#ll did she do with all the rent money (her primary home was rented out for most of this time, she lived in Resort town with friends) and the money from the sale??

Because of all of this, BM has moved in with SD, her SO, and his 3 children! She is not working, not paying any rent, and is talking about going back to school for admin at 60 years old. Oh my.

Our fear is that this will affect SD and her SOs relationship. They are really good together and are planning a wedding in 2024. If they were to break up, both SD and BM would be homeless and jobless. SD works with her SO!

Unless both SD and her SO are saints, yes, BM moving in, not paying rent, being so dependent, will affect their relationship.  These clueless BMs.....

Amazing! Let your trashy SD deal with her trashy mother! Who cares? I personally would rejoice and enjoy my life

Think of it as payback for all the times they bonded over treating you like trash or ignoring your existence!

I have to say SD isn't trashy. We have had our problems but on the whole we have a pretty good relationship. Disengaging has been helpful on that front.

I do care about both SD and SS and don't want to see their lives further ruined by BM.

You are right that I should get over it and not give BM free rent in my head.

BMs parents are still alive and she's lived with them in the past. SD was single in a one bedroom apartment at that time, but I'm sure BM thought about sleeping on her couch. BM has one crazy sister that no one can stand to even speak to and another in another city.

BM should have gone to live with her parents but they smoke and "She felt like she was dying from second hand smoke when she was there" So her discomfort is primary and SDs is non existant.

To effect the household.  But.  But. This is SD. Mother and her problem.  Stay out of it.  They are going to be looking to blame someone..   Make sure it's not you.

Yes, you are absolutely correct!

I do try but it just boggles the mind. I come here to get it out so that I'm not gossiping and getting myself into trouble should any of it get back to SD or BM.

I find it's better if I can get it off my chest and out of my head. I'm glad I have this place to do that.

Who does that to their children???

BM, over here, would do that in a heartbeat, if she could.

I hope your SD's BM moves out, soon. That is very hard on a relationship, especially when someone is just mooching and not conributing a damn thing.

That was one of the things DH and I agreed on from the get go, nobody lives with us. But, when it's your own mother who needs a place to live, what do you do? Both of our mother's were already deceased, so...

Right?! It's her MOTHER.

Grandma had a chat with SD and asked how she felt about it. SD said "Not great but what the duck can I do about it? She needs a place to live!"

My mother and MIL are of the same mind, they would never even ask to move in with us! Unless they were very ill, like dying, it simply wouldn't happen.
