Thanks Icehouse, it seems to be a unanimous view that my BIL needs to virtually sink or swim at this stage.

We have friends and acquaintances who still a let us know how and what he is doing. Some agree with the action we are taking but a few think privately we could do more. What that would be I just don't know

In any case there have been no incidents involving us this week. Fingers crossed.

Thanks everyone and good luck in your own journey.
