Deadbeat FIL In Hot Soup As Man Refuses To Give Him Money Until Demands Are Met

Concerns about youth unemployment have always existed. However, the number of young people who are unemployed, not enrolled in school, and not receiving any kind of vocational training is also rising globally.

These young people are classified as NEETs, or not in employment, education, or training. A young person may become NEET for a variety of reasons, such as educational constraints or the high expense of living in areas with schools and employment.

The group encompasses people who would typically be included in a nation's unemployment statistics, such as jobless people who are still seeking for work, but it also includes people who have stopped applying for jobs. This category is what the OP classified his FIL under and you're about to find out why.

OP's wife is one of the three kids his FIL has. He was abusive and misogynistic during his marriage and when OP's wife was around 6, her dad lost his job and left his wife and kids.

OP's FIL moved in with his mother and lived with her, being cared and fed by her and her pension. He never paid alimony and didn't provide any support whatsoever.

His mom passed away years ago but OP's FIL has still not done anything to better himself. OP's wife had a tricky relationship with her father and you're about to find out all transpired and more.

The OP writes...

The older brother took care of the funeral but lives in another state and has no interest in helping him

OP's brother-in-laws have been secretly helping for a while but can't anymore

Reddit

OP's FIL has to come up with a plan to get a new source of income, either disability checks or a job

Reddit

She is pitying him and thinks he's mentally ill and mentally challenged

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

1. I refused to give or lend my father in law money and he has no source of income and may lose his home. 2) On the other hand, he doesn't do anything, was an absent father, is irresponsible and refuses to change.

The OP gave him a very good deal

The OP should not give his money away

The OP left this somewhere in the comments...

My wife stated he might even be intellectually unable to understand how to get that information I requested. I am not sure. While he does appear to be on the brink of insanity and mentally challenged to a degree, he DID manage to get a job and a family for quite a long time. I am provided with very little information about that part of his life.

OP says his FIL is afraid of him because he knows he doesn't take nonsense from him. Their relationship was cordial and respectful at first, but it went sour after OP learned more about who he is.

The OP also went ahead to reveal that he posted his story because he really does not care if the FIL starves, because he has had enough of this. The OP was declared not the AH, and that's a wrap.
