[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 616081, member: 13542"] My SO's son's wife's 2 brothers are in their early 50's and neither of them work, both live off of the parents who are in their 80's and always have. The parents are wonderful people, but major enablers. Nothing at this point is going to change that. Once the parents pass, the 3 kids will inherit a substantial amount of money, however, if both brothers don't work, their share will be gone in a few years if not sooner. We all know this. At some point in the future these, probably 60 year old men, will be homeless and unable to care for themselves. No one else in the family plans on helping them. They have been manipulators and lazy their entire lives and it isn't going to change until both the parents are dead and then reality will set in. It's really a shame because it's two wasted lives. Their sister knows that the brothers will likely come to her doorstep when all else fails, but knowing her, I doubt whether she will do anything but point them to the nearest shelter. [/QUOTE]
