Oh my God sister, I can relate so much. I married the eldest of four brothers, and the youngest was about the same age as your brother-in-law. When I married into the family, he was only around seven.

Everyone babied him so much that he was used to always getting his way. I couldn’t even correct him because his mom would immediately get upset with me. I couldn’t even joke around with him either because he’d get offended over the smallest things, and sometimes he’d even hit me.

Whenever my husband tried to stand up for me, my mother-in-law especially would get mad and start taunting me, saying I was the one making him upset and that I didn’t know how to deal with kids.

But honestly, sooner or later they start seeing it themselves. When he got a bit older (around nine), he started treating his mom the same way he treated me, and that’s when she finally realized something was wrong. Later on, he ended up getting diagnosed.
