i am so happy about your father-in-law but so sad about your sister-in-law.
maybe time will heal the relationship. you must also love her because she is so protective of her brother. too bad she has no influence over his drinking. I wonder if i should have written that. My father was the only one who drank. Once when we were little we went to a restaurant and my mother ordered a drink so unlike her. Myra and I when she wasn't looking would sip from her glass. then my mother thought she had consumed the alcohol and started behaving tipsy. it was so funny.After they had parties Myra and i would help clean up and we usually emptied the drinks. I guess we drank more than my mother.
