[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here— the point is that unsolicited advice is never a good idea. It can backfire big time.

I’ve learned this the hard way. I recently read an advice column where it was stated that all unsolicited advice is self serving and I totally agree![/quote]

So alcoholics and drug addicts should never face interventions? [/quote]

Interventions by family are not an effective means for dealing with substance abuse. They don't work. It causes a lot fo family drama and it doesn't work.  It's a last ditch effort for people who are going to die and the family feels like they have to try anything and everything.  It gives the family some comfort -- ("Hey, we tried.") -- but it doesn't usually work.

OP's brother and SIL need to go to family counseling.  They should be working on this together.  Or divorcing.  And OP's brother needs to figure out his own eating.  It's not SIL's fault that OP's brother eats like shit. He is a grown ass man. He needs to take responsibility for himself. [/quote]
