How to cut off an addict?

[u/brycehuntstar]

My mil is constantly asking us for money for food or to get a place to stay. I honestly don’t believe her. My husband sends her 50$ every week and she is now demanding more. I want to cut her off but my husband always gives in. Idk what to do.

"Baby, why do you give in?" + "How do you feel about sending her money every week?"

Guilt?

Just wants to help?

(If so...what other help can he give her other than possibly enabling a dependent)

You'll get your answer as to what to do, maybe.

Worth a shot, I would think.
