Interesting "take" (the roles we play on this earth).
I have a brother in law who has a history that goes like this: 10 years, abused by his wife; Divorce; Developed addictions to alcohol, tobacco, sex and prescription drugs (to cope); Mental abuse continues (by former wife). A second marriage and divorce; Fell further into the pit of addictions; Lost his job; Completed one year of rehab; Now clean. No money. No job. He has yet to seriously pursue work. Family has invested a little over 100,000 for his care/to keep his home/care of teenage daughters over the last 3 years.
He feels like "the victim" and that we (the family) have an obligation to take care of him. I so wonder what "role" we are meant to play here? . . . And for how long?
