The brother-in-law is here. He is drunk. The husband and he are having some kind of conversation. The kind of conversation where the sober patiently listen to the inebriated.
It is exhausting.
Earlier the husband and I had a small argument. We can't be his detox. We can't pick the brother-in-law up every time he goes off the rails. The brother-in-law has had major alcoholic meltdowns at least eight times. And I stress the major-- week long benders that have destroyed his jobs, his health, his relationships.
The husband loves his brother so much. It will be difficult for him to let go.

Tough Love is the Hardest to Complish... It Hurts
I remember doing this with a younger brother years ago. It was exhausting to say the least. Thankfully he's on the other side of it all these years later.
All I can say is I hope things get better for you and your family. It is hard dealing with addiction.
It is always hard to Let Go... dealing with Addiction is exhausting. Virtual Hugs.
