ok so me and Dh are in a difficult time money wise. hd got made redundant with no package and i can't work as i have a pg related illness (normal i would car on regardless but could loose the baby)
we have been refused house benefit and are waiting on re appeal in the mean time we need to day rent.
we asked to borrow 140 off mil to cover what was missing of the rent and was told
"don't worry about paying it back any time soon"
his was last Wednesday
yesterday and today hd has had calls from her asking for it back. saying she's had to take out her last tenner to by cigs.
i am so angry.... both her and fir are in paid work and only got paid last week.
they know our situation (very usual as both me and hd have or had good earning job but life has thrown us some shit)
also in the past we have lent (gave them as it was never paid back) alot of money over the years. as well as giving the car-less family lifts everywhere etc as you would its family!!
i basically feel very deeply hurt that a week after she told me not to worry as paying back any time soon she's blackmailing Dh to give the money back.
so i have sent Dh off with every penny i had in my bank account - canceling standing orders - to pay her back as i rather have a debt collector on my back then emotional family blackmail.
