[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't DH's parents involved?  Having it all fall on your husband is ridiculous and really crappy of them. [/quote]

OP here. This is exactly my issue. His parents are doing nothing and have put the entire burden on DH. His parents are retired and in good health. They are currently at their vacation home with friends and told DH that he can handle this just as well as they could, so there is probably no point in them coming down. Seriously WTF.[/quote]

DH may need to separate too--they may have realized that they can't control BIL's alcoholism or save him.  It may well be a calculated choice.  Stop being angry that they aren't doing what your DH is--and consider how you and DH can adjust your own behavior here.[/quote]

This is a good point re: DH's parents.   Thank you for the insight.

I posted earlier, having  been through a similar situation . Perhaps his parents just can't say that they've given up at loud. But their actions support that.  It's given me something to think about, at least!

Good luck OP -  this is a difficult situation I wouldn't wish on anyone. [/quote]
