[quote=Anonymous]I am in similar situation with two divorced in laws. Every situation is different. My advice: first, slow down. This situation was years in the making; it’s not going to get fixed quickly. I understand it’s upsetting- it is- but you need to accept that it’s not going to readily disappear. Two, before you commit to helping them, really reflect on your personal finances, wants, and how the family dynamic will be affected. In my case, two siblings who contribute nothiglnf are big critics of the support we provide saying it should be more. It’s ruined the family dynamic entirely. I don’t know that we could have avoided that outcome, but it hasn’t been pleasant in any respect- other than we feel we are doing the right thing by the in law parents and our own family needs.[/quote]
