Difficult Relatives
Last month, our nephew was on the verge of being homeless and making hints our way. I don't know where he is or what he is doing now. Last week, my brother became homeless and a hoopla with my parents ensued. All of us are on the same page with it....he needs to quit drinking and no one is helping him. And then, a couple of days ago, my brother-in law wrote wanting a 3 hour ride one way to a "job"....he is homeless on a pretty regular basis and might be now. We usually don't do much of anything for any of these three but it sure gets to be a drain. I wonder what it would be like to have normal brothers, brothers-in-law. I am just left shaking my head sometimes.
