She lost her house last April; that's when she moved in. I'm an only child and my dad passed away when I was a teenager, so it's just me. And as much as I want to kick her out and make her fend for herself for once, I can't bring myself to do it. She does have two sisters- one is very sick and my cousin moved back in to take care of her, the other is an enabler and she has a verbally abusive husband.
At one point this fall, mom had a decent job and was looking at apartments, but she lost the job the week of thanksgiving due to absenteeism. She's been meeting with voc. rehab to look for jobs, but nothing yet.
