Well first off stress plays a huge role in flare ups, and I would say it's probably the worst thing for it. You say your situation is ok, but there is so much going on in your house with the ex, 2 lodges, and house building. Sounds like a disaster to me
We used to have a family member live with us for a while and although we got on, I found flare ups were more common. I wouldn't think having you husbands ex living with you to be ideal, and no it's not wrong to give someone somewhere to live when they have problems. But it should be temporary, and your relationship will only get worse in my opinion. Oooh I'm feeling like an agony aunt now
You also mention you're using anti depressants, you should try to find the root of you depression and not rely on the pills. The pills will only hide the problem and not cure it, and I suspect a lot of your problems could be with the situation you are living in.
Depression and stress cause a psoriasis flare up, psoriasis gets worse and can cause depression. (vicious circle) As you are a caring type you should look into using that to your advantage, I find helping people makes me feel good, but having them as a lodger makes me feel bad.
Remember you could be stressed out without knowing it, what you think is ok may be causing problems deep inside.
