My mil is nuking futs!!
Ok so from the beginning. She has 3 sons. One has had his car defeated around 8 times and has now lost his licence. He is also a father at 18 which his mum looks after the baby she comes to stay. The mil has this child 2 days a week so the 18 year old mum can party 5 nites a week (her parents have the baby the other days). She thinks it's ok because she is a teenager and needs to party. Her second son is a major pot head. I've recently found out he occasionally does ice too. And her third son (my partner) was a pill addict (I stopped him) and then went onto weed (he stopped around 4 months ago). He also got a car and motorbike before we were together which was a total of $22,000 he loaned. After about 6 months he just stopped paying like his mum does and then it got repossessed. 4 years later I finally convinced him to pay it back and clear his name. Just incase your thinking "it's probably just the kids fault" I'll explain what she is like. My partner bought a car off hit brother owing him 1500. Tax time comes, his mum is a secretary in a law firm, yes, not trailer trash like you would think, anyway so she offered to do it. After 6 months of begging her she finally gets around to it after lying a few times and sayingshe had aalready done it! He has a linked bank account with her by the way. As she was living with his brother who he owed the money to, when his tax FINALLY came in she withdrew the money and told my partner she had passed it on. Until six months later when his brother asked when he was going to be payed back. Turns out she spent it...

So this is where I am now. I have a court appointment in 2 hours. I don't want to go though with this because then she will try to file for visitation which she doesn't give a shit about, it would be just to spite me. And then I'm on a pension being a single mum in Australia. How it works is if your partner moves in then you have to report it and your pension is taken off you. Well my partner moved in and I didn't report it as he was paying so much back to so many people that he gave me nothing and ended up borrowing 2500 off me so if I had reported it, we wouldn't have had any money at all. I payed all the rent and bills and food except the last couple months when he stared putting in. She is now telling me that she isigoing to dob me in and have me done for fraud
C) aiding and abbetting drug use within her home
D) purposely endangering an infant. (fucking bodywash to eat ??!!)
And make it known to her that you will be advisi g her employer of all of the above, plus the alcoholism. She wont like that, the company she works for wont want bad publicity, or a bad reputation.
likely none of the things i mentioned above will hold, but might just make her reconsider her options.
Oh, and if other half moves back in, he HAS to contribute. You MUST declare it hon. Too risky otherwise. Why should you be the one to suffer when it all comes on top, when he should be providing for at least himself, if not you and the kids too. At the end of the day its not the governments fault that he was irresponsible before, and by letting you keep claiming pension, hes not being responsible now either. if he wants to be a family, he needs to put finances in order, otherwise, hes just getting a free ride, at your eventual expense.
Good luck!
@captivated I don't think there is anyone willing to stand by her side either. I am really good friends with the owner of my house that I rent and she would stick by me.
@char haha that'S the best lol!
@doodles thanks hun. Yes we will be soonish. It was a slight hiccup. We just needed some space and I needed time to regain feelings as he was the worst boyfriend ever for 2 years and then pretty good for the next year but I still kept those angry feelings and hurt from when he was horrible. He would take me out for dinner and all I could think was "who is messaging you. Bet your going to make me pay. Etc etc" I kept thinking all these horrible thoughts from before and just couldn't shake them. I just can't wait to start our happy lives together and stop living in the past.
I'm glad everything worked out so well for you! By the sounds of it you did it very tough and you deserve it xxx
