[quote=Anonymous]This is my mother in law. My SIL has had clear symptoms of mental illness all her life, but my MIL chose to ignore them to keep up appearances. Of course untreated mental illness turned into drug and alcohol addiction. MIL refused to involve anyone outside of the family (and barely involved other family members). She even hired a lawyer who didn't specialize in the type of law needed because it was her oldest friend and the only non family member she would have get involved. That didn't turn out well at all. Now SIL is chronically in and out of jail and MIL still refuses to get herself help because it would mean having to tell others her private business and she would rather keep up appearances.

As hard as it may be, your wife needs to involve others for the sake of getting your daughter the help she needs. My MIL has instead chosen a life of enabling and secrecy. She would rather have her life appear to be fine than have it actually be fine. It's a very sad situation. I hope your situation improves soon. [/quote]
