Unrealistic?

Is itmjust one daughter you have, or do you have two?

Have you approached your local council or housing associations for help as you are of pensionable age and shoukd be a priority for rehousing?

Is this the one daughter with the older partner who you think is being controlled?

A friend of mine, about your age was living in a mobile home on a caravan park, having suffered bad luck and estrangement when her wealthy(er) brother took pity on her and he bought a flat
which she rents. It's working out well.
Ofcourse this can't happen for everyone but your Council should be able to find you affordable accommodation.

Can your daughter help you go to the local council or help you to find sheltered housing? Are you eligible for it at your age? Are there any benefits you can claim to get you into a more secure position?

There is no way I would see my mum become homeless, particularly if my husband was a multi-millionaire. Could they buy a house and rent it to you? That way they wouldn't lose out as they would by paying rent for you.

I wonder if they fully grasp the situation you are in? There is no harm in explaining the reality and asking for advice as to what you should do. Then if they want to help they can offer.

That is an excellent suggestion. The one with the money if they are mean would not lose out.

They may not give you this help, but its worth asking.

I am marginally worried about my long term situation. My income is on the low side but fine for everyday needs/heating and a UK holiday. but not enough for top up fees in a decent home.

My sister is very well off indeed (2 x millionaires) BUT the money is mostly her husbands and he has a mean streak. Initially she pledged me help for this long term need.

I cannot rely on my son as they have a daughter who is so disabled she will need long term institutional care, or I wouldn't be concerned at all.

My sister initially pledged that I wound have to worry, but has since withdrawn it as a certainty.

It is the case that they have 6 children in all and they are her first priority should something go wrong, but what they have is pretty massive.

She did mutter in the conversation about it not being certain, that were she alone with all the money it would be a certainty.

but as far as I am concerned its a long way in the future, I'm only 74, and in good physical health.

I can’t believe how so many people who are immensely wealthy don’t want to part with their money. If I was rich I’d help everyone I know.

Believe me we are not rich but have helped our ACs out on occasion, to my way of thinking is what you do for family.

OP I don't think you should expect help, but you could certainly talk to your daughter and see what she says.

But there are things we dont know from this thread.

Do you gamble?
Haven they lent you money before?
I presume you have made bad money choices before?
Have you given some to an unsuitable partner for example?

None of the above may be remotely true.
But there are a lot of unknowns here.

I left out a line or a word yes, before the first but word.
As in yes, talk with your daughter.
