I have a sister in law who has major problems. She has been involved with drugs, is a pathalogical liar, would call people in the family to ask for help and then had an excuse for not taking it. This summer she faked a suicide attempt, then wouldn't stay in treatment, and has been at my Mother in law's house ever since. She doesn't get out of bed and my MIL takes care of her in every way. In addition to working a full-time job, she goes home to cook for her, and pays her credit card bills! SIL is 35 years old and refuses to leave the house, unless it is for a weekend trip to see her old boyfriend, or a day of shopping. But she can't go do anything to help herself because she is afraid of the boogey man. I am of the opinion that she is faking it because she doesn't want to deal with life, but in any case, I don't feel comfortable having her around my 7 year old, and really don't want her around the baby that is due in June. Can I be ugly and refuse for her to see my baby?
