I need legal advice

Dec 05, 2008 00:04

This is quite complicated and I'm not sure what to do.

A few months back a woman from over the road asked if she could come in. She then proceeded to tell mum and I that she was married, here on a spousal visa (she's Indian) and that her husband is psychologically abusing her.

She's very full on, and has come over several times sicne.

find another 3rd party who is somewhat professional to help. in canada you need to separated for at least a year? or 3 months? before a divorce can proceed.

thanks, I'm going to seek legal advice later today.

But the divorce is the least of the problems.

Legalities aside, RANDOM NEIGHBORS STAYING WITH YOU IS NOT GOOD. Your mom isn't well, and you have enough drama going on with your sister. Tell her your mom doesn't like strangers in the house. Tell her anything to keep her out.

This isn't your problem and you are a tough cookie. Put your foot down. Maybe you feel differently, but who knows what she's like? She could be nutty too!

How do all the crazies find you Jean?

Haha, I've lost count of the amount of times I've asked myself that question, but fear not I rang her this morning and weathered the tantrum of tears and begging and said NO.

But I still feel guilty.

I seem to attract nutters like bees to honey. Maybe she's not a nutter.

Maybe the cycle of abuse has made her so, but we can't get involved.

Cheers for the pep talk.

I must remember that self affirmation "I am a tough cookie"
