[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 627574, member: 17542"] brother in law, bless you. You are approaching this from a very logical, common sense standpoint. The problem is, that doesn't work with addiction. And you'll make yourself totally insane trying to make that approach work. He's 37. He is going to do whatever he decides to do. His parents, well meaning I am sure, are going to do whatever they decide to do. It may be insane to watch, but that is all you can do, stand by and watch. Spend the energy that watching creates on yourself, and keep your distance. You may want to read the book "Boundaries" by Cloud and Townsend. It's great for every relationship in your life, healthy or otherwise. Glad you are here. [/QUOTE]
