42yr old son-in-law would like to see marriage collapse

cityperson's picture

We have been married 4yrs. We live in a rent stabilized apt in a very large city and left for a month or two. Upon arriving home, we realized he had moved in with wife and child and refuses to leave. He doesn't have a job and his wife so far is supporting him. He uses coke regularly and can be violent. He DOES NOT have a lease. When I asked (very nicely) the wife to vacate our home, the son went ballistic and threatened my husband and I..I am not elderley and I don't take 'garbage' from anyone, however, I do believe this insane person will do what he says. This is a huge high rise apt and the landlord doesn't know a thing about this..of course we loose our rent stabilization if we don't reside there. The wife sends us the rent and we send it to the management co. I have decided that if the time comes and the owner asks, my husband and I will break the rent stabilized lease and the son will end up where he ends up. We have found another apt elsewhere. This idiot calls incessantly ranting and raving. I told my husband that I will not tolerate this and he better put a stop to it. This is my life, I am in my mid fifties, I am not going to let some coke head ruin the precious time I have left. Does anyone care to share?

thank's, you are right. Let the police handle this. You are also right about giving the wife and child time to look elsewhere...they are REALLY the victims in all of this.

I wouldn't even let her or the kid stay she is letting her dh do this to her. I would call the police and have them removed you can get in trouble if you/they were caught living there.

I see it very different as they BOTH are responsible for their actions and they had NO right to move in your home!

Unfortunately there is an innocent child in the situation as well. Yes, son should be kicked out. He is an adult, let chips fall, etc etc. If the mom can afford to send you rent the she can afford to hole up in a hotel for a night or two. You could also offer to watch the child while she finds a place and gets on her feet.
