i think my sister in law should be arrested for what she did the other night . that sounds pretty serious . what did she do ? she went into my mother in laws room and stole her pain medication and then went driving did your mother-in-law report her to the police ? of course not , my mother in law still thinks she has to 'save ' her . she 's been trying for 45 years and i 'm over it .
The daughter-in-law's substance abuse and theft, coupled with the mother-in-law's enabling behavior over an extended period, triggered the anger.
