[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 701693, member: 1233"] Family can be so difficult. I honestly doubt that she is capable of making a coherent packet of evidence to prove her claims, much less that anyone would believe her. It might get ugly, but you are doing the right thing by evicting her. Giving in and 'working with her',meaning letting her slide on the rent, is just rewarding bad behavior. Don't do it!! I know how difficult family can be. Sometimes enough is just enough. I have a very difficult brother, who has his own challenges including a serious anger issue. He tortured me as a child/teen, and then he tried as an adult. Heck, if I wouldn't stay on the phone for his middle of the night calls, he would call the cops and tell them my husband was hurting me and to please hurry because hubby was armed. NOTHING was farther from the truth, and we have never had a gun in the house. After the 2nd time, the cops would just call to see if I had a problem when my bro would call them. They really hated his calls as much as I did. I urge you to PLEASE not give in and work with her. She clearly has problems, and needs to hit bottom to realize she has to change. Her accusations are simply her need to lash out and her paranoia. Drinking can cause HUGE paranoia in some people. it sure made my idiot brother's paranoia worse. There are plenty of places she can turn to for help, and plenty of resources out there so you do not need to support her or carry her any longer. You have helped her enough. Now is the time for you to enjoy your second home, and to get her out of it. She needs help, but she needs to find it on her own, without you. When she is able to make amends, you can consider helping her. But I would keep your business, and your homes, separate from her. VERY separate, meaning that she can pay to stay in a hotel near you if she wants to visit. I am sorry she is putting you through this. Stay strong and DO NOT give in. Evict her, and let her go do her own thing on her own dime. If you ever have more dimes than you know what to do with, STILL don't spend them on her. Spend them on YOU, take a trip, buy something you only dreamed of, whatever. [/QUOTE]
