Thanks everybody. I appreciate your advice/support/thoughts. I just have to accept the unacceptable brother-in-law and his interference in my life and yet not let it get to me. It’s shameful, though. I’ll visit less, but it is what it is. I’m just sad my sister would let this loser within 5 ft of our family, but deep breaths. I can’t drink over it. I’m not asking to visit daily. But, when I do, it sure would be nice if I could bring my dog. But if he’s going to say no just to be a jerk (and he is that person) and my sister is going to go along with it, nothing I can do. Thank you.
