[quote=Anonymous]What you asked the FIL to do - was to not be himself.  To change.  He faked it (abusers are great at this) until he got what he wanted.  He is no longer capable of doing so and is going crazy that he can't control you and your husband.

When you reengaged with them, you set ground rules.  They gave you money and then refused to follow the ground rules AND tried to force you out of your house when visiting with your child (a HUGE RED FLAG - due to the fact the FIL is abusive).  This is not OK.

They told you to invest.  You did.  You did not spend the money.  Stock market goes up and down.  Period.  The money will stay put period.  It is simply not up for discussion.

It sounds like the FIL's health is deteriorating - and he isn't able to keep up the charade.  My FIL gets like this.  My husband has also said, you need to have respect for me, my wife and my child or we don't need to spend time with you.  My FIL still goes nasty every so often - but we just reiterate and try not to bait him.

HUGS OP.
