Dear 4JustUs,
I am having a hard time with my father in law. My husband and his dad have always been close. When his parents divorced he lived with his dad. Problem being his dad is a low life. By the time hubby was 15 his dad was taking him partying and doing drugs. Since me and hubby have been together he has worked very hard to get his life straight. He has quit all the drinking drugs and partying. He has worked hard at his job and has been promoted to a supervisor. The problem is his dad is always here trying to drag him down. His dad got diagnosed with cancer and is now living with us because he has no house and was living in a camper in someone's yard. He also has no job and hasn't been able to maintain one in the whole time hubby and I have been together. He is rude to me and doesn't follow our house rules. As I type this I am looking at a pile of clean laundry he took out of our dryer and threw in the floor while I was at work. He always asks for money and never pays it back or contributes. He always does what He wants even in our house and acts like he owns it instead of being a guest. I have always been told to never speak ill of your husbands family because it will cause problems in the marriage. I'm at my wits end and don't know how I should handle this. I don't want any problems but I don't know what to do. It's a tough decision with him being sick. Help!
