[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 352238, member: 3907"] My favourite from the Detachment list is "Well, I'm sure you'll work it out." It shuts the door on further requests for money, advice, your time, or whatever else you're not in a position to spare. It's a conversation closer rather than an opener, I guess. I'm glad to hear that you and S/O are having success with telling her "no". As for your sister in law's husband, I understand that he doesn't want to wreck his family, but from the sounds of it your sister in law is doing quite a job of that already. If the husband tries to keep everything "normal" it will just crumble around his ears faster. It sounds like the son needs intensive help. Is it possible for him to look into that without sister in law's support? Can the daughter go and stay with him during the weeks that he's away at his job? Can he cut off sister in law's access to bank accounts so that there's money for food and gas rather than drugs? I'm just tossing ideas around, brainstorming. But right at the front of my mind is that sister in law is driving around high with her children in the car, and husband is not stopping her from doing so. Something has got to give there, before someone gets hurt or worse. Saying prayers that this mess can be sorted out. Trinity [/QUOTE]
