Her Ex Had A Heart Attack And His Daughters Asked Her To Let Him Move Back Into Her House So She Can Take Care Of Him
If you’ve ever been through a breakup or a divorce, have you ever wondered what it would be like if your ex-partner still had to live in the same home as you?
One woman is dealing with a lot of stress after her ex had a heart attack and asked to move back into her house for a month while she looks after him.
When she was 22-years-old, she began dating a man who was 21 years older than her named Kevin. Early into their whirlwind relationship, she became pregnant with their son, Adam. She and Kevin split about three years later due to issues she says were mainly related to Kevin.
Now, she’s 29, Kevin is 50, and Adam is six. Over the years, she and Kevin developed a great co-parenting relationship.
“I don’t regret our relationship because I got our beautiful little boy out of it, and I don’t consider myself to have been taken advantage of,” she said.
However, Kevin recently suffered a heart attack, which has put a lot of stress on their family. Kevin has daughters from another relationship, but they all live far away from him.
Since she and Adam live nearby, she was the one to visit the hospital and make sure Kevin was okay. She stayed with him and told Kevin’s daughters to get on a plane.
Kevin had a procedure to remove a clot that caused the heart attack. His doctors said that he should stay with a family member for the next month so that someone could keep an eye on him.
“Although I’m not technically ‘family’ to him, I am his son’s mother,” she explained.

“So, Kevin’s daughters have expected me to let him live with me so they can return home to their families and jobs.”
This is not what she was expecting to happen. She stayed with Kevin in the hospital but figured his daughters would handle things once they got there.
Instead, she had to explain to his daughters that she shouldn’t be expected to care for Kevin, considering that they’re divorced for a reason. Although they’re good at co-parenting, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’d be good roommates.
When she told Kevin’s daughters no, they started guilt-tripping her. They told her she should do it for Adam because he might grow up seeing her as a bad mom for not taking in his sick father.
Once she refused again, his daughters became very angry and called her names. They’re primarily upset because at least one of them will have to take time off work and stay far away from home for a little while, despite her and Adam living 20 minutes away.
After thinking things over, she wonders if she should have said yes to caring for Kevin.
“This is clearly a difficult situation for everyone involved, and I’m refusing to help out just because I don’t want to live in the same house as Kevin again,” she added.
Do you think she should let Kevin live with her or leave it to his daughters?
