my husband is 50 plus years old and thought it would be a good idea to have his almost 80 yr old mom -(but I like to call her "sack of crap" cause that is how her attitude is to me..-)to come live with us so he can keep an eye on her even though up until the age of 70 she lived alone..we have been married 2 years only and have lived with her for one whole year..imagine that? so in a sense I only enjoyed living with him for just one year with out her cuz now the fat cow is here to mess it all up

    Starting looking for retirement homes, find a good one, and make the case that that home can take much better care of his mom than you and he ever could.

    Did he ever tell you this might happen before you married him?

        Well could always leave him and get a divorce. How long did you know him before you married him?

          2 years....and yes I could get divorced but than it would mean they just "used me" to buy a 5 bedroom house with 1/3rd of my money that I saved all my life and that is just not right

            Hmm... maybe consult a lawyer on the division of property in your state.

            How long did you know him before you married him?

    It sounds more like his mom would live with him that he would live with his mom. I think that's normal.
