[quote=Anonymous]OP, why are you having this woman to your house for "more than a few days"? You should have short visits with her, or get them a hotel to ease the awkwardness. Same for your visits with them. I think your kids are old enough to understand the general concept of mental illness as illness and how to treat people this way (with compassion but not necessarily trying to help them unless they are ready to receive help). If your BIL reaches out to you, you should help, and you sound genuinely concerned. But it's probably not something you can do to get him to that point. [/quote]
