[quote=Anonymous]My 34 year old SIL has some mental health issues as well as obesity and COPD. I have watched my in-laws “make a plan for her to launch next year” for 16 years. She’s always had a job but never full time. My in-laws struggle to set boundaries because she needs a phone to get a job, she needs health insurance for her medical issues, etc etc. It’s frustrating to watch as an outsider and u am very worried about what happens when my in-laws die… but it’s also easy for me to say that I would do better when I haven’t been other shoes. Basically, her lifestyle is modest enough that my in-laws are pretty comfortably supporting her but comfortable enough that my SIL has no real incentive to change. She has a cell phone, a 15 year old reliable vehicle, her own room with a bathroom, groceries and internet/cable. She doesn’t really have friends or a social life at all. She doesn’t travel. She doesn’t shop. I feel sad for her. [/quote]
