I don't know what to do; this weekend my brother-in-law got so drunk, again, that he blacked out... not surprising, right? Well, while he was blacked out, he went into a rage and beat his wife. She did the right thing and called the police. He claims to have no idea what happened, and he's so sorry, and it will never happen again... yadda yadda.
Needless to say, his wife kicked him out and no one else will take the responsiblity, or the headache; thus, he's moving in with my husband and I.
I just wanted to know if there's anything I can do that will make this experience easier for all of us, and any tips for me to really help him get on his feet?
Anything would be helpful at this point!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Part of me wishes he'd try that on me, because I know I'd put him in his plcae. His wife if very frail, and has never had to fight before; she did very well when push came to shove... but that's beside the point.
I want to help him clean up his life... he's a good person when he's sober.
I know, that I should probably know better. Being that I grew up around this, and my father has never changed... I guess I'm just a sucker for family.
I have always tried to believe in second chances, but once a bridge is burnt with me, there's no rebuilding it.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but why is this your problem?
