[quote=Anonymous]I have a different take on it, OP. The BIL you perceive as "kind" has in reality contributed badly to this present crisis by not exercising critical thinking like you did, in the moment it mattered. My BIL is like this too. He's very generous, but very vague and overly optimistic. He keeps getting taken advantage of by contractors, co-workers, relatives of his (now ex-)wife, friends who need help.... because he's that sort of person. He ends up in crazy situations that my husband (his brother) warned him would happen, but that he thought would turn out all right. I have sympathy for BIL's wife here. Was she kept out of the loop when your FIL proposed this to his son? If I were her, I would refuse to live with my in-laws, and refuse to be their eldercare support. That sort of job isn't worth whatever discount they got on the house! I suppose there isn't enough money to buy another house or build an addition? [/quote]
