My brother-in-law is 56 yrs. old, not formally educated but quite intelligent; he is physically large (6'3" 245 lbs), self-imployed installer of sprinkler systems; he comes from a dysfunctional, abusive home, some of his siblings are alcoholics; he served in Viet Nam; he gets up at 5 or 6 a.m. and works hard till he comes home, then he literally drops. He's fat and hygeine suffers and he is a slob when he comes to house work, picking up after himself. He would let me come along behind him and clean up his messes and not think he was causing me any unfair additional work. He yells at me and is ALWAYS correct on any issue, and constantly interrupts and raises his voice if he disagrees. Yet, he is thoughtful and generous with his time or talents and effects with my children, grandchildren and my siblings. He'll drop what he's doing to help them, just not for me. I don't want suggestions for me however. I want to know clinically what is wrong with him? What does he suffer from etc.
