Thanks Kat, you are great. I just feel soooo tired, and she is pushing hard now, and I don't feel strong enough to fight her. And as shown by her being out Sunday night with other guys and getting drunk, her road still looks to be a long one. And I'm still dealing with this judgmental thing. Who knows, maybe this financial dispute will slow things down (she really wants part of my parent's estate, which I am not budging on.)
B/c she has the kids, I'm sure she can get some assistance, like food stamps. But you are right that this is her thing to deal with. And I'm just not in the financial position right now to get a larger place, so we are stuck.
