Description

The Asking Eric advice column is written by R. Eric Thomas.

Dear Eric: My sister-in-law is 75, divorced and has a useless 40-something son. He has never held a steady job. When he does get a job, he finds some excuse to quit or else says he got injured. He then comes home and eats and drinks to his heart’s content. Then he will convince her he has an opportunity, so she gives him some money, and he disappears for a while until the money runs out.
