My husband grew up in a cheerful, loving family. But when his father was 57, his wife sadly passed away. Naturally, it was extremely tough for my father-in-law to cope with such a loss. So, we decided to sell his flat, split the proceeds, and have him move in with us while he tried to work through his grief. It seemed reasonable at the time.
We imagined hed stay with us for about six months and then buy his own place, but things didnt turn out that way. He really enjoyed living with us. He never contributed towards bills or groceries. I cooked for him, washed his clothes, cleaned his room. He only ever went off to work. Life was practically a holiday for him.
He ended up living with us for eleven years. Then he began lecturing us continuously about what to do and how things should be done, started setting his own rules, and we simply got fed up. That is when we decided to buy him a house just outside London. Hes still fit and healthy, perfectly capable of living on his own.
We purchased a house for him and arranged everything hed need. But my father-in-law started inventing stories about heart troubles and other ailments. Really, he makes things up just to stay with us. But Im not willing to do this anymore. All I want is to relax and spend time with just my immediate family. Im exhausted. What should I do?
