Drunk too much! Re f**cking parents in law

[Parentsinlaw]

OK so FIL has moved and lives with us since he had a heart attack in September. MIL is in a home 500 miles away. The stress between them, and FIL living with us, i.e he is ALWAYS THERE is doing my head in. DH goes to work, so doesn’t get it.
i do t want my head filled with other people’s crap.help me cope!

Why isn't FIL with MIL in the care home ??

I’ve your post before and lots of people said to move FIL into a care home. If I remember correctly he has high care needs and it’s all falling to you.

I would book yourself into a hotel or premiere inn for a week and tell DH you can’t cope any more and he needs to find a better solution.

Aww thanks dontwanttonpbe I have posted before, you have a good memory!
FIL was caring for MIL, completely unsustainable and he had a heart attack. Safeguarding wouldn’t let him out of the hospital until MIL was in a home. She has RA and pretty much can’t move but is totally sharp as a knife. So it’s pretty grim for her.
we moved FIL here, 500 miles to where we live, so we could look after him. MIL doesn’t want to come here and is a manipulative stress monkey. Every time she calls FIL gets all stressed, they often yell. I try and avoid her but when I do talk she’s sugary sweet while being super disparaging. Whole dysfunctional mess is doing my head in.
FIL has bought a little house nearly next door, and is unwilling to chuck stuff in case his wife needs it. She won’t. I need to take control and Get It Done but I’m pretty resentful- it’s more of my time, but I guess I have to suck it up or he’ll be here forever. I just need to get organized and on it. DH doing what he can - a lot - but has super stressful job. Meanwhile it is all eating into my work time and mental space.
Helpful suggestions please!

And no, FIL not ready for a home yet. It’s that in between stage where he needs some help.

Then he needs to either go home with carers or move into care home while he recovers.

Last night I told DH how I needed a break. We’d drunk some wine, it’s getting to us both.
DH has just told me that last night when I was in bed, he told his dad he needs to move out - I don’t know the details and I said, ‘I hope you didn’t make him feel unwelcome, once teen has gone to uni he can come here as often as he likes’ DH knows this, I have said it often enough. DH said, ‘you didnt say that last night’ A bit of me is irritated that he didn’t tell me he was going to say anything. I don’t know what he said but I now feel guilty and anxious. I don’t want to! He’s a nice enough chap, just not All The Time.

You need to make your mind up whether you want him there or not.
Why on earth would you say to your DH once your sons moves out he can come all he wants? Talk about mixed signals. Do
you want him gone or not?

Yes I’d like him gone. I’m trying to be accommodating though and not dictatorial as obviously he is DHs dad. So obviously there must be some give and take.

So you are screaming out loud on MN with MULTIPLE threads saying you can't cope.
You are telling your DH MULTIPLE times you can't cope.
And now you are telling DH he was wrong to tell his DF to move out without consulting you?

Stop with the mixed messages. Get DH to physically get FIL house sorted. If FIL wants to keep MIL things just in case then he pays for a storage unit that either he or DH sorts out.

no I didn’t tell Dh he was wrong to talk to FIL without consulting me.
ok.

This, feel for your dh, constantly saying how awful and stressful it is, then when he's proactive, you guilt him?

Are you working out of the house or do you have to stay at home to care for FIL?
if so, then he needs 24/7 care. If not, he can move to his own home.

Goodness me! No I’m not guilting DH. I’m trying to be accommodating and finding it very difficult. As is DH. I posted as yesterday I had had enough. A week of appointments etc, and spending too much time with each other. So I was just venting. Not to worry and thanks to everyone for the advice.
