The one he married over the summer even though they've been dealing for years. Their daughter is two and she has three boys of her own, two of which live with them.
Aaaaaaaaaand here's how it went down in all it's TIPriffic, secondhand glory.
My SIL is apparently going to school for nursing and taking online classes. They have one computer. My brother is putzing around the internet doing nothing of great importance when my SIL say, uhm, hey, I need to do my schoolwork. Douche says, whatever, lady, I'm busy. She says, fine, I'll just do it when you're done.
So she goes to work and when she comes home, boy is GONE. He done took his shit and got the fuck out.
Now I know you're all saying but habbsies, surely there is another reason. He couldn't have left her over a stupid computer. Uhm no. My brother is a bag of dicks, okay? He's also diagnosed bipolar BUT more likely has borderline personality disorder. He literally is capable of flipping a switch over the smallest thing and deciding that someone he loved five minutes ago is the worst person ever who hates him and is always ever so mean and abusive to him.
So my poor SIL has to gtfo of her apartment post haste because she cannot afford to carry it on her own. She pretty much sells everything she owns because she can't keep it with her. And see, her mother hates my brother. (with good reason, obviously) but after the wedding, I guess she was starting to come around. Yeah, fat chance now, amiright?
In the middle of this, my SIL posted something slightly whiney but overall innocuous and my constantly up her own ass aunt has the fucking nerve to post in the comments, Dang girl, are you ever happy?
I wanted to punch her in the damned face.
Oh and the cherry on the top? This was maaaaaybe three weeks ago. As of nov 8, via FB, my brother has a new girlfriend. H says she looks like Steve Nash.
OMG, I remember stories about these two. I love the Steve Nash comment your H made but I'm sorry... your brother is everything you have called him before.
oh and more on my aunt. A month or so ago, my SIL posts on her FB asking if anyone knows of open jobs she might apply for.
My obnoxious aunt replies with some kind of pep talk to all SIL's friends. "Who among you is willing to step up? This could be resolved TODAY with your help."
She needs to stop listening to motivational pyramid schemes like yesterday. And of course, she isn't offering to help, now is she?
I just feel for her because, dude, she doesn't come from good, supportive stock. She's like 27 or 28 I think with four kids. I think she had her first when she was really young and her mom adopted him. But her mom pretty much holds visitation over her head to get her to do what she wants. I know SIL and my brother broke up once because her mother told her she wouldn't let my SIL see her kid while she was dating asshole. Which, asshole aside, is bullshit.
And my brother is so damned manipulative. One minute he's screeching that everyone hates him and the next he's wailing that no one has ever loved him and he has no where to go.
But I told her years ago that he's worthless and to let him go. So I'm not at all shocked she's here. However, what other decisions are you supposed to make when everyone around is assfucked?

Your aunt makes me so stabby. As for your brother, I hope he gets it together someday. I feel for your SIL but sadly this situation was avoidable for her, and bad choices do tend to beget bad consequences.
Something tells me your brother will have another change of heart or two before this is all over.

I agree with all of this except I think there will be 87 changes of heart and she'll take him back all of those times unless or until she finds someone decent. However, I get the feeling it's not exactly crawling with winners in her neck of the woods.
