Hmmm.

Some personal issues regarding MIL is what you seem to have alluded to.

Then in your post “don’t worry about costs to you”.

And “getting rid of her possesions”.

First if you did not mean to come across rather self centered and doing her a favor ish ya should clear that up.

Also have you noticed that mainstream and or libs who post here under the guise of being a Conservate?

Better go with the well known old timers on the advice mode.

Again JMO

I thought this was wonderful, till you got to the part about her early fifties. I am in my mid fifties and there are several apt. communities for those over fifty, and some are on a sliding scale.

I would be devastated if I had to live with one of my children at my age. I am healthy, and capable. Why is she going this route?

If this is temporary, till she can find a job, or get her bearings back, don't sell anything. Store it.

If nothing else works Craig's List is also a good resource.

Good Luck.

OK. My wife and I are doing this because we care, and we feel that she’ll be able to make a turn around, mostly with the proper health care.

The problem of her stuff is that the vast majority of it she has no attachment to. She tried to get us, the kids, to rid of it before. It was just to time consuming going through the house trying to sort through stuff. She wants to get rid of most of it.

What I mean by, “don’t worry about the costs” is that I don’t want people to worry, then waste their time giving me financial advice. Financially, my family’s doing fine, and the Army helps alot in organizing finances and adjusting benefits (i.e. medical, dental, etc.) to help withthe transition of caring for a family member.
