Joseph it is worth it you are right. And I can do hard things. I always have. And I think I am probably at that moment that you have been getting me ready for yes. I need you guys more now.
Ok W has emailed back saying “… we need to come up with a fair amount of rent for you to pay so that I also have the opportunity to live in a place that I choose. You are choosing to live there with the costs that a house that size incurs…. I am unable to subsidize the mortgage as well as give money for son. My preference would be to give money for our son….. All of these agreements need to be legalized and have expiry dates.”
I will seek further legal advice and at this time I read willingness from her to contribute towards S’s support which is good - not so much on the house.
I am thinking about taking care of the house on my own if necessary and preparing to buy her out when I can. And asking what amount she is able to contribute to S’s support.
Here is my idea of responding to her email. Haven’t yet. Input is most welcome.
“I understand you would prefer to give money for S. What are you willing to contribute at this time? You have expenses and want to have the money to choose where you want to live I get that.
I feel the need to keep our house specifically for S’s needs. I recognize that at some time we may need to sell it.
There is a mortgage payment coming up. I have funded that today. I have considered your proposal and for the time being I propose that I cover my half of the mortgage and house expenses supported half our rental income. I wonder if you want to you use funds from our emergency fund to supplement your contribution if you are unable to afford the full amount. I am interested to hear your thoughts.”
This is (censored) hard.
