DP's brother is a smack addict. He is 47, has been on the stuff since 16.
He is always on and off, and in and out of prison. He owes so many drug dealers money that when we are at the future IL's and he is there, none of us are safe.

You can tell when he is back on it, even when he pretends he isn't. I am sick of him. I hate him so much. He is such a foul human being, he steals from anyone and everyone, and he has a little boy who he has not been in touch with for 10 years (he doen't know where he is).

I had to be nice to him for the sake of DP's mum, as obviously he is her son and she can't cut him off, she will always love him. She was very ill, and he went missing. He didn't tell anyone where he was going, just disappeared from his flat for weeks, and it made his mum even more ill due to the stress. In February, sadly DP's lovely mum died from bowel cancer. When we were all in the hospital with her during her final days, he kept disappearing off saying he needed to go and get something to eat etc... he would be gone for hours at a time, and then when he reappeared there would be all the tell tale signs.

I am currently pregnant, and don't want this man near my baby when it's born. I can't bear the thought of him being around me, nor in my child's life. Ever. He destroys everything and I just want to cut him out. Nor do I want him at my wedding. I don't want him in my pictures nor in my memories. Maybe I am being a bit bridezilla....

AIBU?

You don't like the guy - fair enough, but don't start a marriage dictating the type of relationship your future husband must have with his family - you are marrying him not them.

Just decide for yourself what sort of contact you (and your baby) want with him .

It is sad DOG. But how long does someone not take reponsibility for the things they have done?
I would find it sad too, if I wasn't around him. His life is a total waste, and that I find sad.

Itsjustafleshwound, I agree. I don't have that right. I do wish I did though!
