[quote=Anonymous]Also, please reconsider your assessment of the boys' futures. Sure, it's possible that someone without a college education could become a deadbeat dad. But it's also possible for someone WITH a college education to be a deadbeat. And there are certainly many non-college-educated men who are gainfully employed, contributing members of society. It sounds like your BIL is one of them.

You are going to need to tread carefully, OP. It sounds like you want to be involved in these kids' lives and to help them as much as you can. But you might not be able to do that, or might be very limited in your ability to do that, if you piss off their stepfather while they are still living with him. Don't make things harder for them by provoking BIL's ire. He may be too controlling and too cavalier about their education and futures, but it sounds like on a day-to-day basis he is not a bad father figure? If that's true, he deserves respect for helping to raise his stepsons, not derision.[/quote]
