I think your demons graphic is funny.. :) Anyways---I agree with you--we all have demons-it's our choice to move on or continue to be victim of them. Life is full of choices & excuses. I hope your BIL one day makes the right choice. He can be a jerk-but, he is your husband's brother--you care about him, and want the best for him for your husband's sake, I'm sure. Take care and have a great day, and I hope BIL comes out of hiding.

We are only victims if we allow ourselves to be. You are right. It is his choice. The only choices we are responsible for are the ones we make.

Oh, so more easily said than done though, huh? I look at people I know that have been stuck in the same rut for years simply because they can't get past something that happened, maybe 20 years ago, and I can't help but wonder how different their life could have been had they just moved past it and took control. But then, I try to stop and say "there by the grace of God go I" and remember that while the answer seems simple for me, there may be an entire set of extenuating circumstances that I know nothing about that effected how the person chose to handle things. So I try my hardest not to judge why people are where they are in life....even though I do fail with that at times. In the case of your BIL though, you pretty much know everything that he has been through and how much of it is his doing....that is a different story! He so needs to just go....and I hope for his sake, and yours, that he will. I wouldn't want the humilation of being evicted, but he will probably enjoy the drama, won't he?

Your BIL thrives on the poor me mentality! I can't pity someone like that, he chose to be miserable and remain in his prison. You and I chose to move on and find some semblance of life. <br><br>I still battle my own demons from time to time. The difference between me and your BIL is I don't allow mine to harm others and bury me in pity. (Hugs) Indigo<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
