In-Law Drama DD?

 Lurker here..

 I guess she didn't like that she should really mind her own business.

  • My heart really went out to her poor BIL.  I couldn't imagine being under that much stress and anxiety and then to  have your own family disown you and make your crisis all about them.  I hope he stays away from them and gets the help he needs.

    That was the irony of the whole thing - they wanted him to come home, but I was like "why?  clearly he's going to be judged and made to feel even worse for lying to them!".  I don't see how going home is going to help him out.  Right into the lion's den....

  • I know.  I mean his parent's friggin disowned him, so they don't have a history of being compassionate people. 

    I just couldn't believe after all that had happened to him,  the OP was most concerned about how SHE could trust HIM.  Her BIL is having panic attacks,  not finishing school, his fiancee left him and she is whining about how he lied to her one time. 

     

  • Thank you all for your concern.

    I deleted the post out of concern for privacy for the family.

    The question was how could we help him get back on his feet. Apparently it did not come across like that.

    No, no it didn't.

    It was quite honestly full of judgy details that were written in a snarky manner.

    And even if that were your original intent, it's STILL NOT YOUR PLACE.

    Not your life. Not your business. If he wants to drop out of school and dance naked on the streets of downtown NYC, that's his choice. Is he hurting himself? Is he hurting others? Is he a threat to society? No. He's just not meeting *YOUR* expectations.

    Back off and leave the poor guy alone.

    THIS!

    I read your post.Can you explain exactly how "How an I trust him again" = how can we help him? Because deleting your post, does not mean we forget what you actually wrote and allow you to change your story. If your post had even hinted at you thinking of how to actually *help* him, my response to you would have been very, very different.

     

    OMG, Kirk26's BIL in going through an extremely difficult time right now and Kirk26 betrayed my trust by lying to me about what she posted. How will I ever be able to trust her again?

    That is an amazing understatement!  No where in your original post did I get "how can we help him?".
