Well, my ex is a guy. If he fell on hard times, I let him pick himself back up. And if he was that destitute that he burned all his family, I'd probably laugh at his misfortune. (Looong story here)

He could see our son as scheduled, but no way, no how am I letting him in my home. Not even to use the bathroom. This, of course, all being reciprocity.



I totally agree with this. Although I have no kids with him, if I did. I'd take the kids in and leave his behind on the street. What comes around goes around.

I would, he's the father of our child, and if he fell on hard times, it would be hard for our child... and I won't ever let things be hard for her... There would be rules, and strictly enforced at that, but yes, I would do that.


I've done it for my child once before and him too. I am still friends with him.

Yes. We are friends, and she is my son's mom. He would be heartbroken if I kicked her to the streets.

That is nice, but as you divorced you are no longer responsible for her, only the child.

I think children need to see their parents for who they really are. And I'm okay with my son seeing me tell his dad go to someone else's house. He'd die, literally, before he asked me.

Our job as parents is to keep our child healthy and happy. That, in no way, includes enabling or caring for an ex, unless WE want to for us, for them. Not for the child.

The best way to help a person is to teach them to help themselves. It sounds like your ex has some health issues.... does she not have family? Is you daughter living with you, the one who just had a baby? Where is the child's father? Why is she living at home...Is your ex on SSI?

There are just too many variables here for me to even consider giving you advice.

I can say that if my ex showed up at my door asking to stay I'd have no problem having him arrested for trespassing. What goes around comes around.

But it sounds as though your situation is different. Best of luck.... but remember you are not responsible for her.
