She also said some of the money was supposed to be saved for him, just in case he ever had to come home from America.

However, when he returned, he met nothing. She said they are starting life afresh.

Her words:

"Imagine working in the U.S. for 20 years, sending money home, & coming back to nothing but a childhood house falling apart. That’s our reality, & now we’re rebuilding in Mexico together. A home was never supposed to be built for him. Money was just asked to make repairs to the house, but some of those repairs never happened."

@CibaoSovie said:

"His childhood house is not his house. Be careful because his siblings will come to collect once the mother is out of the picture if not before. I have seen it too many times."

"20 years of sending money to come back to nothing but being completely taken advantage of and he is still letting his mom live with him? This is why the toxicity continues."

@brandonphipps35 said:

"My husband is self-deporting to Nicaragua and I’m going with him. I’m nervous."

@NinjaBuddha said:

"I once sent my son $7000 to pay off his car note. Instead, he spent the money. I was angry with him until my friend said, "I would have done the same thing as your son." That's when I realized I probably would have, too! Don't be too upset with the family until you"ve walked in their shoes."

@Amy said:

"So would you be now considered an immigrant? Do they let anyone live there in Mexico?"

@Sandra Bonilla said:

"This happens to people all the time. Send money home & come home to nothing."
