We end up confronting some of them and showing that they are "enablers" who, if they get a little tougher, can show their sons/daughters/wives/husbands that their behavior cannot be tolerated....Some success, some failure.
I wish you luck, you're going to need it. But you have the great ability to realize that even if you're out of the will, it doesn't matter. Try to seperate the emotional from the facts...and keep your perspective.
We're going to suggest and outside debt counselor to help her out in this situation, we're just to close to the situation.

I really hope that my babbling about this can help someone else in the future, get education to go with the money!
