    Problems with brother and future mother-in-law

    Re: Problems with brother and future mother-in-law

    It sounds like your brother is coping the only way he can manage - sometimes it's easier to surrender hope than to try and cling to it. That doesn't make his behavior right, but if it's starting to have a negative impact (on your mother in particular) maybe look at what can be done to decrease the (considerable, by the sound of it) load on his shoulders so he has the time and energy to process the situation.

    As for the mother in law - it's impossible to say on the internet, but perhaps she just doesn't want to feel that she's intruding, or imposing in some way. If you haven't expressed an explicit desire for her to be more involved, then she might not feel comfortable forcing herself into a situation which is already intense and deeply personal to your family, especially if she isn't already close to your own mother.

    Just my 2c.
