One of my closest friends lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and lived with my husband and me for nine months. It was extremely hard and we decided we'd never do it again. My husband actually offered to have my mom live with us when my dad died, and thankfully she didn't want to. It's hard to have other people around even when they are kind and helpful and you love them because you can never completely relax and always have to be on your best behavior. Hang in there! *HUGS*
