My SIL controls my brother's entire life.  According to her, the pastor who advised them in premarital counseling called her the Key of [Brother].  You can't get to my brother now unless you go through her.  Last time I saw him, he entered his phone number in my phone, so I could contact him privately but it was 10 years before I was able to do it.

My brother invited us to visit and SIL coordinated the week.  My brother was out of town for work the week she told us to come.  She went to work and cancelled their babysitter, so I was stuck watching her two elementary-age boys and their new dog (on top of my kids, ages 2 and 4).  It was hell.  SIL is a yeller and would yell at me and her kids for things that didn't even make sense to me.  Midway through the week, I got gastroenteritis, packed up, and went to a hotel in the next town.  Once I was rehydrated, I drove 14 hours home.  SIL was furious at the loss of childcare.  Said I really put her in a bind for those three days.  Mind you, she hadn't communicated to me about watching her kids until after I was there.

IF I ever go back, I'll just stay at the hotel and...well...I don't want to go back...ever.  Miss my brother, but I never saw him last time anyway.
