That’s when the truth came out.
She admitted she was planning to live with us so that her daughter and her four children could take over her house. Apparently, her daughter is struggling financially after her husband left, and this was my MIL’s way of helping her—by handing everything over to her while making herself our responsibility. No thought of leaving us anything.
When we asked why she hadn’t been honest, she said she didn’t want to cause “tension” between the siblings. Too late for that.
I grabbed my husband, walked out, and left her there with her boxes.
Now my husband is having second thoughts, saying we’re already well off and don’t need financial help anyway. But for me, this isn’t about money. It’s about the lies and the manipulation.
Am I overthinking this?
