To think BIL should visit his ill mum in hospital?

I know I'm not, I'm just furious he is leaving everything up to DH.

MIL is really ill in hospital, possible cancer, she is very weak and on oxygen and a drip. She isn't eating and on nutritional drinks. She has been deteriorating quite rapidly over the past two weeks.

DH is both physically and mentally drained, finishing work and going to hospital after work, sitting in hospital on his days off, waiting for doctors and surgeons to speak to as well as trying to see the DC and me.

BIL doesn't live far, he lives 45 minutes away. It would cost him £8 train fare. He doesn't have DC, and works a mon-fri 9-5 job so no real ties keeping him in his home town. It's a bank holiday weekend so he has had three days to come up. DH has just got off the phone with him after asking him to come up and see her but he has said he will just wait for the test results from biopsy.

Sorry about the double post, MN is buggering around at the moment!

Families are complicated. Even if it appears on the surface that there are no issues there maybe things the OP knows nothing about.

Or maybe the BIL is an arse. It's really impossible to say
