My brother in law is addicted to pills. It started out with Vicodin (not his) and now he has 3 separate doctors prescribing drugs to him without the knowledge of the others. He has wiped out their savings and got cash advances on secret credit cards for almost $15K in 6 months. He refuses to go to rehab because he thinks nothing is wrong with him. My sister asked him to leave a week ago and he is now staying with his parents. Before he left, he told my 5-year-old nephew that “your mom doesn’t want me to live here and I won’t get to see you anymore”. My nephew has been acting out and saying she is mean and if she loved him she would let his dad come home. My sister won’t let my nephew see his dad because he slurs, stumbles and is verbally abusive to anyone in the vicinity. She doesn’t want my nephew to know anything about what is going. I think she should explain that his dad is sick and can’t be around them right now. Any thoughts?
