How can I reduce the tension and stress in our household?
My brother-in-law moved in with us after being homeless for a couple months. He irritates me so bad. His room is always a mess and we have to basically force him to shower. I am completely at my witts end but I don’t want to kick him out for fear the he will be homeless again and everyone would think I am the bad guy. He has mild cerebral palsy and says he can’t pick up his clothes or shoes because of it. I told him he can’t blame EVERYTHING on his disorder but he seems to use it as an excuse for everything. Please help!!
First off, big hugs to you, you are a fantastic person for trying to help him out. Please remember you can only help those who want to be helped and it should not come at your and your families expence. I would assume you have already had a long conversation with it about it, so doing it again will probably just frustrate you more. Is there any organizations in your area that could help? Perhaps there is an organization that could offer him a place to stay. Or maybe you could help him find a cheap apartment and get welfare or something like that. Its a difficult situation and I am afriad that he wil continue to treat you and your home with disrespect until you get him out of there. I think you should look at ways of helping him getting out of your place, without ending up back on the streets.
I think that the best thing to do, when it seems like you guys are going to start screaming at eachother, and also when it seems like a fight is going to start, go outside, or walk away from the situation and wait till you are calmed down and then go back and talk to him camly. There is not much you can do with a pearson who blames everything os a disorder, but stop the fight, walk away and come back when you are more clamed down. You can also try to change some things around, if he can’t pick up his clothes, I’m sure he can put it in a hamper or something after he takes it off, so have a hamper near him, or where he ussually undresses so the clothes does not end up on the floor all the time. Have some trashcans around the house so he always has somewhere to put his trash in and stuff. This way he wont have to make an excuse on why his clothes is on the ground, and maybe it will reduce the conflict because there is something more straight foward?
I bought him a hamper for his room, and belts, shoes, and other junk end up in it. Its like talking to a wall when i speak to him. And I dont want him to have to live in a shelter or anything like that ya know?
He has gotten a social security check for a while and his aunt that he lived with before us had evidently lied to the social security office saying he paid bills, so that they would get bigger checks, and they found out that he didnt. Now he has to pay that back. so they are taking it out of his checks. He is only getting 300 a month until he pays off the supposed 4000
