My BIL is in jail again!
So I got a call this morning from the county jail in DH parents town. It was his 22 year old brother that was arrested. This is not the first time. DH and I have tried to help him in the past even offered to move him here. His parents have never allowed it. As you might remember we don't have any contact with his parents after how they have treated us.
Im really torn, his brother needs help. He has major mental health issues and his patents just don't get it. They take his ssi money each month($950.00) and give him $20 a week and use the rest. It is a bad situation and only going to continue to get worse.
His brother was begging me to help him. He is in jail for a minor offense and will probably be released within a month. Right now is a really hard time for us to help get him here. I feel so bad.
I guess this is just a vent but if anyone has any advice I'm open to it.
Re: My BIL is in jail again!
Whatever happens, don't stress too much -- not good for baby!
But as it sounds, having him live with you (or is that not what you meant by 'offered to move him here'?) would be just as stressful as letting the situation be.
What does your DH think? Vibes for you storm!
Do the creep.
Sorry was not clear he will in no way be living with us!!!! We would help him budget so he could have an apartment. Hubby wants to help him because he feels when his parents pass we will end up responsible for him. We are worried by that point it will be too late to really help him,
I'm trying not to stress and told DH that now just isn't the right time as unfortunate as that is. We need to focus on Lawson and can't give his brother the time he needs.
It is such a hard situation,
