Hi Bob @unclebob83, I can't imagine how difficult it must be for your sister. I'm sure just your being there to listen will be a big help. I'm not sure if you have searched for any resources but here are a few that might offer some suggestions on how you might be able to help your brother-in-law.

Thank you so much for the info!
I’ve been in AA NA and Al anon since ‘86 and “Tough Love” principals are ingrained in me.
I just believe I need to make an attempt to help him.
The trip is up in the air right now and winter is coming and they live up North so it might be spring. Im going to study all the info like your’s and monitor the situation and if things take a turn for the worst I’ll fly up there.
Once again thank you so much for responding!

Thank you!
