It looks like you and your husband are going to be on a bumpy ride with your MIL.  She definitely is in denial and the more that you and your husband try to give her a reality check, the more she ignores the discussion.

The fact that your in-laws are encouraging your BIL's new dating situation is troubling.   Now they will be dealing with "two" unstable people and your BIL's financial problems will probably escalate twofold as he will likely need extra money to date her and also "help her out" if she, too, has financial troubles--not to mention the potential for pregnancy.

Avoiding your in-laws sometimes is probably what your husband will need to do because being exposed to that kind of enabling by your MIL must be extremely frustrating.

Also, her "sunny" disposition is just false hope, not real hope since she probably has convinced herself that a relationship, or a good job, etc. will cure him; that won't happen if what he really needs is professional treatment.  [/quote]
