You said you think it's your place to worry about and determine how your  aging in-laws interact with them that's about control.
You want to have a big faily intervention with your  BIL &  SIL that's about control.
You have made no mention of boundaries you  and DH have put in place or talked about putting in place.[/quote]

I am going to try this one more time and then I am done.

Not once did I say that. I do think it is my place to worry about how she treats my DH's parents. I do think it is my place to worry about them spending their retirement on this. But not once have I "determined" how my ILs interact with them.

Not once did I say that. My DH's sister has wanted to do this. When it was suggested by a poster I said that I might support her in this. I make it my place to stay out of as much of this as possible.

Right in my OP I stated that I have not had any contact with her in almost a month. I have to see her this weekend. This is why I just wanted to vent it all out on an anonymous forum.

What I have not mentioned is DH has told his brother no more money from us and he has also told his parents no more depleting their savings. I have not gotten in the middle of that, but I support my DH.

I am very sorry that this has obviously touched a nerve in you. It might have been better that you simply report it and stop reading.[/quote]
