Disrespectful people and their horrible decisions

Just recently I was speaking to my mother in law. She lives in Michigan and we live in Minnesota. We don't stay in touch as much as any of us would like but we all have very busy lives. I had noticed on her facebook that she was upset about something so I asked her what was wrong. I let her vent to me as much as she wanted, and when she was done my veins were burning with anger, adrenaline, and a little bit of self loathing.
Someone ( not going to say who exactly ) had been staying with her and was beyond hurtful to her. Calling my MIL's house disgusting, never helping her clean up, always leaving messes for my MIL to clean up, always laid around, and always depending on my MIL to take care of this persons child. This person also borrowed money from my MIL and has yet to pay it back. (this person is a ... semi - family member, so it's not like she had some random person living with her)
The fact is, my mother in laws house is not disgusting. My husband and I have lived with her several times through out our relationship and yes back in the day it was messy and had holes in the walls and we had to use the stove to warm the house up in the winter, BUT since then, my mother in law has worked her little buttocks off to make her house better than its ever been. Holes are fixed, new floors, the furnace is working, the walls are painted beautifully, everyone has a warm bed, working bathroom, food in the fridge, and in their bellies. So this person was WAY out of line!
The other fact is, my MIL is the sweetest person on the face of the earth. If someone needs money for something, she will give up her last dollar to help them as much as she can and typically she doesn't expect anything in return.
