[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like she drinks to deal with her husband and takes the stress out on her kids.

I’d make it clear to her that when she decided to divorce the a-hole, she is welcome to stay with you or your parents. She needs a strong support system. If she continues to drink after that, that’s another matter, but my guess is that once she’s out of that high stress environment, she’ll calm down. BTDT. [/quote]

Op here.  I agree.  And we’ve told her several times she wouldn’t have support.  My parents live close to her and own several rental properties and have  offered her a free house to live in if she wants to move out.  They all live in my hometown so I have several contacts there I trust who are attorneys who have said they would speak to here for a few hours for free and if she hired them would do her divorce at a reduced rate.  My mother is basically my sister’s part time nanny and takes those kids several days a week.  My BIL telecommutes for his job which is based in a major city a few hours plane ride from our hometown so he he is either WAH or traveling for work.  He is not a hands on dad.  His own father wasn’t In His life and he was raised by his extended family who I believe were not very tender and believed in spanking, yelling, etc.  so he only knows what he knows.  He won’t go to counseling or parenting classes. They’ve been offered.

This is not a situation where we can just petition for custody.  I have spoken to attorneys and LCSE about it because my knee jerk reaction was it is.  But I was told over and over again it isn’t.  [/quote]
