[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Here are some more facts. My sister met BIL about 10 years ago. He stopped drinking apparently five years before that. I asked what happened and my sister shut down and was like it's in the past, blah blah. I feel like she's in denial of the real risk she and her kids are in. This man is a walking time bomb and she's just carrying on like they are this normal family. It's just ... such a façade.

When I asked why she never said anything, she was like it's no one's business why he doesn't drink. I agree in a way (it's not my life) but I am worried and concerned. We always had a pact to never get entangled with addicts and here she is...married to one. [/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. More judgment and a-holery but not facts. We get it. Your mom suffered from alcohol addiction, and you suffered due to that. That doesn't mean that someone 15 years sober needs to be shunned. My god. What do you think your sister should do anyway? Preemptively divorce him because he's a time bomb? Shame him publicly so you know she's taking it seriously? Send a newsletter to friends and family with sobriety updates? What do you think is going to be helpful to your sister and her children?[/quote]
