My BIL (as I'll call him in "short form") has been kind of a jerk from the moment I met him. He's a victim. Just ask him! Everyone's out to get him. The banks, his creditors (oh, and he's not responsible for his bad credit -- his ex-girlfriend is, or so he claims), people in general in the community... It got real old, real fast. He exaggerates everything, almost to the point of out-and-out lying about things or events he has no real knowledge of, just to make himself feel important (I think he has a serious self-esteem problem). Now he's married a good-hearted, albeit naive young girl, and he's got her totally suckered in to his little web (bad credit, persecution, etc.) He completely mooches off his parents, and doesn't have a real job (his parents pay him to do odd jobs around the house!). My husband is so sick of him that they rarely speak anymore. My issue: I quite like my sister-in-law, but hate seeing her get sucked in by my BIL. How can I help her out?
