Thanks for the thoughts and input, everyone.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I really feel for your MIL; she must be so overwhelmed.

[calle28]

I'm sorry jane, that's a lot to deal with.

Would your BIL be interested in going to an inpatient facility?

[jane6672]

@astrid, thank you. We looked into that a bit ago when FIL was... threatening things, and they wouldn't do it unless he had actively tried to inflict harm on himself or on others. =/

Oh, jeez. I am so sorry .

I'm not sure. He's obviously not in a right state of mind, so it can be really hard to reason with him on even simple things. 

I'm hoping to get an update from MIL tomorrow, since she's with him.

I am sorry, that is so much to deal with.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard to watch someone spiral. Does he have a friend or counselor from the past he trusts who could suggest in-patient to him?

No, most of his old friends are from the drinking scene, so he's sort of fallen away from them. He's pretty isolated where he is, honestly. He has a hard time connecting with people because of his anxiety.

Is he threatening any physical violence to himself or anyone else?

He's talked about suicide, but not necessarily as a threat - like, "It would be easier to commit suicide so I wouldn't have to deal with this." I don't know if that's enough to count?

I'm so sorry.
