My friend's wife died, leaving him with four special needs, adopted children under the age of 13. My friend did need help, and allowed his 47 year old daughter and her husband to come live with him. The father feels that this daughter will have to take care of the children, if anything happens to him. The husband has some disabilities, and daughter quit her job to live with her father. The daughter feels that her father owes her a house, and the father has promised to leave the daughter his home when he dies. The father has even said, if he could, he would give her and her husband the house and he and I would get in his RV to travel around the country. The daughter believes the house belongs to her now, and pressures her father to turn his other affairs over to her. The daughter has many bills, and has recently filed for bankruptcy. The daughter is abusive to the children and has expressed that she can not handle the children. She does not do housework, can not cook very well and generally gets on her father's nerves. Her husband does all the work. The daughter only goes shopping, and spends too much money. He constantly complains about her, and suffers dizziness, and nausea from the stress of dealing with her. He stays at my house, or away from his home, and can not sleep the entire night in his own house. He only gets a good night sleep with me. I do love this man, and believe that if I were not with him he would be dead by now. I do not plan a future with this man because of his problems with his grown daughter. It is like I am dealing with a married man. I don't know how to break off the relationship, and mostly don't want too, but know it is fruitless. I need advice.
