My parents divorced over a decade ago. Mum 'got the house' (although it was sold) but it was otherwise a clean financial break
•
Brother and I moved out at least 5 years ago
•
Her mother died somewhere in between those two which had big impact on her but not unusually traumatic
•
She has not been employed in my lifetime but had regular and irregular jobs before having my brother
•
Since getting divorced she has been working on a business, but has spent virtually the entire decade on patents and not securing paying customers
•
She asked to borrow money from me (£10k) which I lent her assuming she would get a job to support herself in the meantime
•
She accidentally spent £1k her mother left me (although I do not believe this was accidental)
•
She asked to borrow money from my brother which he could not lend her. He had already covered some bills on her behalf (facts which she did not tell me)
•
She sold some things, having run out of the money I lent her (which lasted about 6 months)
•
She put several thousand pounds on a credit card, assuming she would be able to do a balance transfer (which she was...)
•
The credit card bill was for self-storage (she has a hoarding problem which is a minor cause of her money problem) and if she doesn't come up with the money in 6 months the unit and all her stuff will presumably get repossessed
