[quote=Anonymous][quote]While parents don't owe their adult children anything, let alone fairness, they should realize that disparate gifts/help can cause friction. My BIL is a single dad with underlying addiction/gambling issues. He has made and continues to make bad life choices. Although he is now clean/sober, he is a bottomless pit of needs. [/quote] This is a tough situation -- I am in a similar one w/ my BIL. For me, though, it's not about me wanting the same as was given to him but rather about wanting my PIL to establish healthy, non-codependent boundaries with the BIL and for the BIL to realize that his level of taking is corrosive. (Good luck with that, I know).[/quote]
