[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP - my MIL (in-laws divorced) called this afternoon to talk about the situation including my FIL's health as he was sick late last week with bronchitis.

I posted some of my "nit-picking" details to try and give a sense of the situation for people who may have been in similar situations to share how they unraveled the environment.  There is lots of history - way too much for DCUM.

I am posting b/c my husband asked me if I had any ideas.  I did not.  I thought there was some magic item - a resource, a book, an experience that we were not thinking about.

Your MIL might have some influence here, should she choose to use it.  To SIL: "Look, DD, I couldn't stand to still be married to the man, but I am still concerned about his well-being, and as your father, you should be too.  This is getting to be too much for him."

But, she's an adult and can already do this if she chooses, as can FIL decide to stop if he chooses, as can SIL wake up and realize she needs to pay for daycare.

It's really hard to be far away watching the train wreck waiting to happen, knowing you really can do nothing to stop it.[/quote]
