Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Some background information is needed. My parents are divorced and have been since I was about 10 years old (I’m 21 and I’m the youngest of my family). I have an older half-brother (from my moms side) and two older sisters. When my parents got a divorce my brother went with my mother. I’m not sure the reason because I was a kid and haven’t really heard a solid story as to why. My mom isn’t well off. She definitely has some mental issues, but can live “normally”. My brother, on the other hand, can’t. He’s 27 and he is on the spectrum. He also has depression, anger issues, and possibly bi-polar. He lives with my mom and works from time to time, but is also i the hospital a lot. He mostly lives off my mom. Me and my sisters live with my dad, who has family money and a good paying job. Me and my two sisters are in college paid for by my dad and his inheritance. My two sisters are on their last year and one lives with my dad because her school is 20 minutes away from his house. 

Now for the YTA/NTA part.

My mom has trouble finding places to live and often gets kicked out of those places for good reason. When she does, she often asks my dad to come live at his place for a couple weeks to get back on her feet. She ends up staying well over the duration she gives at the start. 

My siblings and I would have no problem letting her stay if she was out by when she said she would be. We wouldn’t mind if she stayed longer because not everything works out when you think it will. I get that, but she has been doing this on and off for the past 5 years. She’ll find a place, my brother will go into the hospital, she gets kicked out, then asks to stay at my dads place. 

My dad is not the strongest person when it comes to saying no. My mom sometimes makes him feel guilty. My will say yes and then he will force us (now just my sister staying with him) to stay home all the time and “watch” my mom cause he’s paranoid and thinks she steals from him. He has cameras up all over the house. When she finally find a place to live and leaves he’ll complain that something’s missing and that she stole it until my siblings or I yell at him to stop because we don’t care anymore. 

She is asking again and this time it is just my sister at home who has to take care of two huskies, her last semester of college, and basically everything around the house because my dad is a recluse and barely come out of his room anymore. She can’t stay all the time to “watch” mom for him. She wants people to come over and hangout but doesn’t feel comfortable with my mom around. 

There is a whole lot more that would make you understand better, but I don’t think reddit wants to hear my dark, sad childhood. 

Anyway, AITA for standing with my sister and telling my mom she has to find another place to stay or go to a homeless shelter?
