[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 627372, member: 1514"] Sigh, welcome to the board but sorry you have to be here. You and your wife are in a difficult situation. There is really no way to force her parents to stop helping her brother. I would bet your take on the situation is probably right on. I have a brother in law who is somewhat the same way but his parents arent alive anymore. He mooches off all his siblings. My brother in law did the whole "I am looking for work, the interview is today, oh I didnt get it, bums to be me" routine too. Or he thought he was putting one over on us until I did a bit of investigating and traced him to what was supposed to be an interview and the place had never even heard of him. Oddly though, I was the one who was deemed to be in the wrong for proving that he was lying to us even though he was living in my house, eating my food and not paying a dime. Beats me. With your Brother in Law (brother in law) is there any reason such as mental illness or physical disability that he cannot get a job or live on his own? How old are his parents? If they are older than 65 you could consider calling adult protective services confidentially and telling them you think they are being abused because of what he is doing. [/QUOTE]
