[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone, OP here. Appreciate your suggestions. Of course BIL came over this morning unannounced so I told him and DH to entertain the kids for awhile. The were good for about 15 mins and then the kids came looking for me for a snack and it was over. I guess that's better than nothing.

Totally agree that he would probably benefit from some type of therapy but DH has causally mentioned it (i.e. just having someone to talk to) but he shut it down. DH has also told him he needs to find a hobby, join a gym, or even volunteer to fill some time but he always has an excuse why those things don't work.

And he does actually have friends who did invite him out when he first moved back, but after blowing them off so many times they have kind of given up. He is 42 and at that age all of his friends are married and most have kids and they invite him to dinner or to grab 1-2 drinks, which he things is lame and boring since he prefers to go out late and drink way too much (probably another sign that he is depressed). No clue why he wants to hang out with us so much since we are definitely boring, but I guess it's just different with family.

I hope things change soon![/quote]
