Enabler,cheerleader and flunking child
Have a middle aged family member who is drinking,abusing misc drugs including steroids and is/has been in deep financial poop. All while unemployed and on unemployment. All with an already existing short/demeaning temper.
His live in is his biggest cheerleader and probably enabler. She seems to make sure she is always in agreement with what ever he does and makes sure she does it in front of him. Even other relatives have picked up on this who only see her on the occassional family dinner.
Is she acting out of fear?
Personally we think she is looking for a money train(he was a white collar worker). But what's really messed up is that her younger child from a failed marriage has been flunking school for several years at this point.
Should we bring up the point of his live in's flunking child? Even he has noted the kid is failing school.
As mentioned before we've been waiting for his bottom but will he drag his live in down with him?
