In-Laws - SIL & Drugs/DUI etc
It's a complicated situation. I have been married to a disabled man for 9 years (relationship is on the rocks). We live with his parents, sister and nephew. Sister-in-law is addicted to narcotics. She regularily drives under the influence with her son and the son's friends in the car. I have made it clear that I will report her if I know she is DUI with children in the car. The in-laws are enablers and mother-in-law threatens to kick me out of the house if I phone the police. Says I should mind my own business and/or go report all the other DUI'ers out there..... (blah blah). I have made a few reports but nothing has ever been done. Should I continue to report (knowing that I could be kicked out with no place to go)? Should I phone child protective services? Should I give it up and pray nothing bad happens?

Personally,
I would continue to report it only because their are children involve and driving under the influence can put their lives at risk. The reason why nothing has probably ever been done is because if you are going to report something you are going to need solid proof, When you go to court you need evidence. Same thing if you rat someone out on a DUI. I think it is caring of you to think of the children, It is always a good thing to have someone who thinks with a clear head.
Now on your relationship: Are you happy? I am going to take a wild guess from what you posted that you seem at wits end. Do not live out of misery for others, Happiness comes when you put yourself first. Remember that
