[quote=Anonymous] Realistically, what are you hoping for? You can't burst her bubble and/or seek intervention on your BIL without a plan that has a good chance of working. The mentally ill brother can't cure himself, you know. He will in all probability always fall for someone unsuitable, or land in a untenable situation. It's extremely difficult and painful to try to protect these people from themselves. My friend is in therapy to deal with her mentally fragile (addicted/suicidal) sister, who has a drug dealer boyfriend who shows up from time to time! The fragile sibling has an allowance from the family, but they still have to intervene every now and then when the money doesn't spent on rent and the landlord threatens eviction. Guess how it's spent... There is no magic bullet, OP. I suspect your poor MIL is far from delusional, but just trying to cope so that she doesn't go crazy herself. [/quote]
