It’s always the same routine. For ages, gratitude was too much work and being civil was optional. The minute their luck ratchets south, every grudge becomes water under the bridge, or at least they want it to. The same people who can’t stand you being comfortable are first in line for help when comfort is in short supply.

No surprise it’s a hard no. Some lessons you only learn by sitting in the bed you made, replaying every cheap shot now that the couch isn’t available. Guilt’s a cheap currency here. These are the moments life spells things out, actions are receipts, and nobody owes you space just because you finally noticed you burned all the bridges.

‘I told her I pay half the bills and if she can’t respect me, she shouldn’t expect help’: 29-year-old refuses to let sister in-law Emily move in after being called a gold digger and looked down on for years
Some people just don't believe consequences are real until they're right at the front door, and sister-in-law Emily is just that kind of person.
If there's one theme of human behavior I love, it's probably that one. where people either cannot grasp the fact that actions have consequences, or they do and crawl with their tails between their legs and puppy eyes because they know they did you wrong, but they really need you now.
Emily spent years making little snide comments, skipping right over basic respect, tossing gold digger jokes because it felt easy with an audience. Suddenly the eviction notice turns up, and now she's all soft voice and sorry eyes, hoping family will pretend none of the past happened. That's the move, act like you never need anyone until you do, then play the victim in your own script.
