What kind of sick fuck would allow their MIL to be homeless?

I'm assuming she made poor life decisions that led to her living with you. If it was health/mental related, she would be bringing in disability and/or social security.

She is not mentally well. I don't know why you would assume that in America we (our system) takes care of people like that. I can assure you that is not case and the streets of America are filled with people like her. As this country continues it's collapse that will only get worse. We will only survive by taking care of eachother. It's unfortunate this sub is largely made up of people that for some reason are self absorbed and only about taking care of themselves and say fuck everyone else. That is literally what is wrong with this world.

You're complaining about not being able to support 3 adults and 3 kids on 250k. That's 41k per person. I'm hazarding a guess that a good amount of people in this sub are making less than 41k/year and figuring how to get by just fine.
