Ok…I need some MIL advice

Were you thinking she would stop when she moved in with you?

Good question. No car and cutting off her supply thought would help

Kale

If she lost her last home I would expect therapy/medication would be necessary

Her kids need to step up and address the problem. This isn’t an in-law issue

Her kids don’t care. I invited her to live with us

Kale

Sep 19, 8:57pm

Yeah, saw that. That terrible. You’re a good man. God bless you

I'm sorry, this sounds stressful. You're a good person for wanting to help.

She loses her mind if you take anything away. Like a kid

Kale

It must be so difficult for those people.

I would still throw it away. But that’s me.

Toss it anyway

As long as it stays in her room, and it's not actual trash, but just clean

I can’t imagine why you thought it would be a good idea to let this person live with you.

Sep 19, 8:06pm

Can’t argue your point. Just thought I could help

Kale

Sep 19, 8:14pm

Well, you get credit for trying. It’s more than I would have been willing to do.

Sep 19, 8:25pm

Life’s too short to lie to the people who make our lives harder.

Sounds like she needs to talk to a therapist.

Weekly or monthly room check like college kid apartments. Tell her this is your house

5-6mg of psilocybin mushrooms and threaten assisted living if it continues.

It is a mental illness. She needs professional help

It’s a form of OCD and is treatable.

You have to be the parent. Clean out her room weekly or monthly.

My dad does this. In his case this was a side effect of depression. We got him

Is it crucial conversation or ultimatum time?
