To make it on her own

by Joanne
(Alberta, Canada)

My husbands daughter is turning thirty this year and has been living with us for five of the seven yrs we have been married. I feel it is time for her to move out and live her own life. She creates a lot of stress for me as she does not clean up after her pets and my house smells and after a fight every 3 months I can no longer handle this stress. My job is a high stress position in healthcare. I cannot even have friends into my home because I am ashamed of its condition. Her father turns a blind eye instead of being the dad she needs by telling her to take care of business and clean up. The stress is now manifesting in making me sick and I want to leave this marriage if she continues to stay here. I love my husband with all my heart but need prayers for me and him and the daughter. Thank you
