Sometimes brother in laws go through stages in life like everyone.
Mine was 8 when I started dating his sister that was 16 at the time. He followed me around some. I taught him to shoot took him trapping and hunting . Good kid, he joined the army, got married went to Afghanistan. Came back physically and mentally broken divorced( always picks the wrong type called home and she answers the phone while in clearly the act while he was Ina one of the hottest active parts of Afghanistan) and several years with drug problems more marriages more divorce. Where some loaned that loaned money I never expected back went.
Got to the point I cut him off and he was not welcome at my house even when my in-laws were living with me untill I was sure he was clean for at least a full year.
Today he is doing well and has his crap together. I'm very proud of him. Head diesel mechanic for a local trucking company that has a lot of rigs, runs mechanic side business. Deals with broken body and a lot of pain from that.
Responsible enough to know he has trouble so even making sure his pain meds after his latest surgeries were keep by his mom and at her house because he wants to eliminate temptation. I'm darn proud of him and there was a time I never thought I would say that. He is a good Responsible man I'm lucky to have in my life. We all go through stages in life. Sometimes we improve when the odds are against us b
You never know how things are going to work out with people seen a lot of folks fail had some just surprise me with great successes that I would have never bet on. Still it’s a nice surprise whoever succeeds in the end.
