Me Again 10 Months Later

Hello Everyone! I posted in May of 2015 about my situation. Briefly, stepson, who is on the downside of 26 was living in DH's parents house (both deceased) and was not paying rent, gas or electric. He was also pretty much trashing it and I spent Mothers Day participating in a cleanup that could have made a great Hoarders episode. We were going to do a lease purchase to SS's boss which fell thru. By the way, I now believe the reason DH was so adamant about selling it that way was so the parasite SS would have a place to live. Anyway, parasite did find a room somewhere to rent and moved out in August. Since the market isn't really great we decided to renovate the.house.and live in it temporarily. It's paid for so we would save money too. Unfortunately I had bunion surgery in November which set us back. Come the firstime of the year though it would be balls to the wall and really start the.reno. that ended when FB (Darling Boy aka Parasite) called and said his landlord kicked him out because he got in a fight.with landlords son who was trying to force him to take percocets. Never mind that DB is pushing 300 lbs..DH believed this tale and back to the house goes DB. Did I mention that we probably paid close to $3000 for dumpsters and had to pay $3987 to electric/gas company in September to turn it back on. DB told DH that he had been making installment payments (another BSC story). So he's back in the house and the insanity starts again. Tell me if you recognize.this: DH tells DB that.he had to be out by the end of the month (January)...end of month.comes and DH tells DB he has to be out by the end of the month...hmmmm..well it's March now so I think you know where this is going. I calculated that we have lost about $39,000 in rent alone in the 2.5 years that.this insanity had been going on. Of course this doesnt include dumpster fees and the utility.bill which.we are now paying again because DH asked (ASKED??!! WTF?!) If DB could pay it and he said he would try but.of course it would cut in to his cigarette and beer money. I have.had to pay it and the March bill for $248 is now due. I did get.advise from DB that I should get on a payment plan. Again WTF?! I have told DH that he isn't putting me.first. We were both.downsized out of.jobs.in 2009 before we met each other and because.of.our age, over qualifications, and lousy job market we both ended up at Home Depot where we met. That money would have made things so different like maybe a honeymoon, new car, small vacation. It hurts like hell that he isn't putting me first. He sees that.now but still has done nothing to toss this kid out. I am so resentful and really don't have much faith that this will ever end. I love my DH so much but I just can't do this anymore.

I might add that my DH was a widower and his wife died 12 years ago so this isn't a case of a divorce dad feeling guilty.

No but it might be a case of widower daddy feeling guilty - SS lost his mom at such a young age, impressionable time, etc etc e can't possibly be expected to function like those Other people that still have both parents. Don't you understand his mom Died?!

Yeah, parents can go down the path of guilt for several thousand reasons, I would brush it away so quickly, particularly since you say he's made no real move to actually get his kid out of the house.

Oh I'm not brushing it away just saying that.it's a little different than most on here. I guess I should at least count myself lucky that I don't have to deal with an ex wife or ex in laws.
