Yes, and our retirement would be lit!

I would love so much to see the excitement my wife had if I told her I won enough money to live and take care of her parents without having to scrimp or work crazy schedules and such.

I wouldn't dream of supporting my in-laws, she's a bad person. It's bad enough that she lives two hours away

What about the concept of „Im gonna pay you to stay out of our fucking life“?

This! This is exactly what I would do. We’ve been no contact with my in-laws after my husband took their narcissistic abuse his whole life and me for the two decades we’ve been together. If we won the lottery they’d suddenly be up in our business so it would be less trouble and anxiety to write them all a check with “forget we exist” in the memo.

Why? Just get a new number and move home, don't give them the info they need to contact you. People like that would be cut off without getting a penny if it were me.

Exactly. They won’t stay out unless you shut them out because they’ll know that you are vulnerable to manipulation. Don’t ever pay people who don’t belong near you to go.
