Okay, my sister in law has, time and time again, screwed my brother over. She has put him $25,000 in debt, totalled his car, and put their very lives, along with my 14 month old nephew's life in jeopardy for drugs. She has gone to rehab 4 times and is still using drugs.. my brother is like blind to it. She has also stolen from me and my boyfriend when we tried to help her when she was homeless. Now, again, my brother has taken her back.. and I'm the only one in my family that knows.. I want to say something and let him know really how I feel.. but I can't stop seeing my nephew.. that would kill me. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure who has the bigger problem, your sister-in-law with her drug addiction or your brother with his codependency problem. If your brother is blind or in denial about how his wife is ruining his and his son's life, I really don't think there is much you can do. Do not enable his wife anymore.

Here is what you have to do get your family together and have a sit down with your brother and let him know what is going on and before you do this make sure you have proof pictures and reciepts not just hear say so you can show him that she is very wrong and that she has to go and as fat as your nephew have your brother take full responsibilty for him get your brother to go to the courts and he can get full parentel rights and your sister in law will get none becuase think about it she is a junkie

You gotta say something. If he's too in love to believe you, whatever happens is on him at least he'd know how you felt. People are going to do what they want to do regardless. But as a sister, I'd speak my mind if I were you. The truth of the matter is, what effects him, effects you and everyone else in the family and if his wife needs to get herself together, its going to take the family to help her do that.

Try Jesus, Take her to church and get her in a counseling group there. If not bring it to the family or she will ruin your brothers live, he will thank you for it later. Plus that's not good for your nephew.

Talk to your brother about it. Make him see what is really going on.
