An Introduction and a Question

<< < (2/2)

Prosperity:
My mother in law has to always BE sick, and everyone in the famuily is always sick and needs her help.  When my husband was young he had ADHD, Tourrettes, a learning disability, and emotional problems and SHE helped him overcome everything without the help of a therapist or medicaiton. SHE did it all by herself.  And all the while she was dealing with her own diabetes, fibromyalgia, etc.  WHAT A MARTYR.  (Oh, yes he is COMPLETELY cured)

Five years ago my sister in law was in a terrible car accident and was comatose for five weeks but made a miraculous recovery and graduated from college last year.  She had the help of the best therapists and professionals around.  Oh, but MIL did it all.  She ate it up.  AND, now, she constantly tries to keep SIL totally dependent upon her by convincing others that SIL is not of stable mind "because of the brain injury" and cannot make decisions independently.  And who wouldn't beleive her, she has a brain injury!!  SIL just graduated from college this year!!! and I spend a significant amount of time with SIL (MIL lives 750 mi. away), she watches our babies, I have no concern about it, and I feel SIL is totally fine.  But MIL keeps trying to keep SIL dependent on her (wants her to quit her job to move back home, etc. )  How coincidental that her last child just left for college last year.  She will die without someone to be dependent on her, someone she can control and boss around.  

Good luck, Lys.  We will chat again, I'm sure.
