[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Set your boundaries and let it go. You can't fix everyone's problems. [/quote] It's more complicated if you're married and the older relatives are your in-laws. [/quote] Yeah, I know we're MIL's fall-back/retirement plan. And then when she dies, we'll be responsible for BIL who can't hold a job due to multiple addictions and causing himself brain damage and chronic health problems. It does bother me, but we do make plenty of money so I wish I could let it go more easily. It's just the anger at what seems to be their self-induced helplessness, and just the entitlement to think someone else will bail you out. I know BIL literally can't do any better than he is doing, and the alternative is him living on the street. But it's definitely a test of patience and love.[/quote] I'd let him live on the streets. He made his bed as an adult.[/quote] And that's why we have so many homeless. [/quote]
