My BiL is an alcoholic and dabbles with street diazepam. I found out about this some years ago when he came 'clean' to everyone and decided he was going to seek help. Whilst I was aware things weren't perfect, I didn't realise, perhaps naively, that now he continues to abuse drink and alcohol.
Speaking with my sister today she told me about recent events whereby my BiL was out of it, for want of a better phrase.
Sister and BiL are supposed to be looking after my son overnight for the first time in a couple of weeks. Husband and I now feel this cannot happen.
What thoughts do people have on how I go about this? Whilst I feel I can be honest with both of them, I am so worried about the impact this may have on my sister, who told me today that she is at the end of her tether. Her mood is low and she is feeling very alone
