[quote=Anonymous]My sister and BIL live across the country and we don’t see them too often, and when we do it’s usually not for longer periods of time. We just spent a week with them and I had the chance to see how horrible my BIL is to my sister. I would say he is borderline emotionally abusive and while he does have some redeeming qualities, for me they don’t outweigh the negatives.

First off, he has a sarcastic personality to begin with, but he constantly makes fun of my sister and puts her down for the smallest things. “Oh, look at Larla changing the baby’s diaper again, she is smothering the kid” (after the baby poops and needs a diaper change). Or, “have you ever met anyone who takes longer to get ready and doesn’t even look all that good” when my sister is running late. He jokes about her not having lost all her baby weight (their kid is 13 months) and comments on what she should and should not be eating. We all went to get ice cream and in front of everyone he asked her if she was sure she wanted to eat hers, and then gave her a “look”. He also constantly undermines and critiques her parenting and she basically can’t do anything right. Yesterday, for example, he wanted to take their one year old swimming after my sister had just put her down for a nap and she fell asleep. He woke the poor kid up just to bring her to the pool.

I just don’t get what my sister sees in him. She is a respected surgeon and absolutely the breadwinner in their family. Even my sister’s best friend has said things to me about how she can’t stand him.

I assume I don’t say something to her right?[/quote]
