Hello everyone. I just wanted some thoughts on how to handle my difficult situation. My brother (64) has separated from his wife (54) and left his wife and daughter (22) living in the martial home while he is staying with me in my small terraced house. Within going into all the detail, my brother has suffered years of emotional abuse from his wife and this culminated in him fleeing the house in November 2022. So he’s now lived with me for over a year and shows no signs of moving out. We get along well and I honestly don’t mind him being around, but I don’t want to live with him forever! If it wasn’t for his daughter he would just split the proceeds from the sale of the house and go their separate ways but half the proceeds of the house would just about buy a one bedroomed flat in this area. His daughter has anxiety issues and doesn’t work and of course it’s her home too so he wants to minimise the impact this is having on her and he doesn’t want her with nowhere to live. He has a plan to buy his wife out and then leave her to get a mortgage to obtain enough money to buy a place that wife and daughter can live in and he moves back into his house (he couldn’t get a mortgage due to him being retired and his age is against him). BUT he hasn’t got the money to buy her out at the moment … so his ‘plan’ is to live with me until he gets the money together. Meanwhile she’s got the run of the martial house while he’s crushed up in my box room. I cannot see a way out anytime soon… is this plan madness and is he being unreasonable to expect me to put him up for at least another year? I couldn’t possibly tell him to leave but I feel really trapped. What would you do?
