My mother in law passed away in January, when that happened my husband and I inherited his sister. She is mentally retarded and schitzophrenic, with paranoid delusions. I am really afraid that she is going to destroy my marriage. We have only been married for 2 1/2 years. I love him very much, but since he works 12 hours a day on midnights, and sleeps all day, he really doesn't have any idea how much work she is. She obsessess about everything, this week she is convinced she has a urinary tract infection, the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with her. Yet I have to hear about it every 10 minutes. She is 47 years old, but she acts like she is 12. My husband thinks I need to get a job, but he wouldn't get any sleep if I did. She wakes me up 4-5 times every night obsessing about some physical ailment that is not there.
Worse yet, mom never had her declared as a dependant adult, so we get no financial or medical help for her. We are now drowning in debt from her bills.
