Update on the Family Crisis of the Week

Well, I haven't bitched about any family stuff for around 6 minutes so I guess it is time to start.

First with the holstein-in-law. My wife's oldest sister, who picks her men up as they are released from the looney bin, let her boy toy move into her new house right after he flattened his probation violation sentence. At which point he proved he was not only nuts, but fertile by knocking her up. Everything was roses for about 30 seconds then they started fighting like Columbian drug dealers. The cops wouldn't remove him from the house, because she had let him live there long enough to establish residence, she also couldn't get a restraining order against him due to having taken out about 6 thousand of them over the last 3 years and then ignoring them and letting him move back in. She went back to her old house which was vacant, although she had tenants in the little house on the same lot and he showed up there. She was afraid he would run off her tenants, so she went back. They fought and he chucked a piece of wood at her. The police came and she got her restraining order. The police relocated her, but would not remove him. He started calling DCS and reporting her for being a bad parent. DCS came out and took an order of protection to keep HIM away from the kids. Then they started making her take parenting classes and told her that if she let him move back in they were taking the kids. Apparently they have collected over 60 complaints on her. How many are from him and how many are from other people I don't know. Now while she isn't allowed to go to her own house without police escort, he proceeds to destroy and haul off a bunch of her junk. He breaks mirrors off her truck and car. She has her van. He trashes her computer, takes the card out of the satellite box WE loaned her so the kids could have some TV, and as she found last night, ripped up her clothes. He also calls and accuses her of sleeping around on him, which I wouldn't doubt. My wife is the family peacemaker, mother confessor, and the world's most naturally born social worker. So she gets it all.

Meanwhile, per a previous post, my wife's parents have moved in on my wife's younger brother. Now his life is hell. His little sister goes in his room while he is at work and takes his ipod and laptop. She and my father-in-law hog the computer and he can't use it. He is now having to lock his room and carry his computer and ipod to work with him. Now he hasn't been selfish, he has been letting them use the stuff, but they don't have any concept of politeness or restraint. While at my house at Christmas/Easter he would get on my wife's computer when he woke and not get off until dawn. If she managed to catch him on a bathroom break he would want to use mine. He wouldn't use mine without asking though because everyone is scared of me. I am quiet and they don't know how to deal with that. Also I learned long ago in my jujitsu studies how to excude a quiet, homicidal menace. If you don't know me well, you might well assume I am only one tiny word away from a mass killing spree of immence violence, and you might well be very right. However, my bro-in-law is about to the point of packing it in and coming back here. Given our dismal economic situation, if he can't land a government job he will be shit-out-of luck. The only factory jobs around here are temp, and the only other jobs lately are commissioned sales.
