Me and my huband are moving in 41 days from FL to NC so my brother can help my husband get into the police adacemy (my brother is a cop and my husband has been stuck at a dead end job for years). My brother has offered us to say in his house with him, his wife, and 2 teenage kids untill we get on our feet. We are very excited about the move that we know is going to help us grown and be able to start a family. We have sold all of our furniture and we are beyond the point of changing our mind and staying in FL. Well my brother called me today and told me that he and his wife are getting divorced. He is moving out of the house but they dont know if they will sell the house, ect. He says we are still welcome to come but he just wont be living at the house but will still help my husband and us out as promised. What sould we do? Should we still move and cause more stress on my brother? Should we just stay and contuine with our dead end jobs?

Hmmm...
Here's what I'd do- If he won't be staying there, I'd call HER and ask her what she thinks about it. Tell her you don't want to intrude or cause more stress.
If she says she's cool with you coming to stay for a spell, then I'd do it. It's a great opportunity to make a better life for yourselves.
She may say she'd rather you didn't come, but then again, she may appreciate you being there to help take her mind off of getting divorced.
