We expect our family members to support us and earn our complete trust, but Dorothy’s experience ended in heartbreak.
After inviting her husband’s 20-year-old sister to stay with them, Dorothy and her husband only asked her to watch their two children while they were out.
Sadly, things went horribly wrong, and the sister-in-law betrayed their trust in the most devastating way.
Dad recently passed away, and Mom feels very sad and lonely. I want her to move in with us. My husband agreed, but only if she pays rent.
He said, ‘She will eat our food and use our electricity. It’s not a hotel.’ I was furious. I also own this house!
Then he added, ‘Your mother can stay but she needs to contribute.
It’s about fairness and respect for our household.
