Short segment from a YouTube video by Dave & Ashley Willis describing one of "10 types of unhealthy in-laws"—those who are "chemically imbalanced" (possible undiagnosed mental illness or addiction). The speakers advise that spouses should unite, consider interventions with siblings, involve a counselor, and prioritize safety for children while expressing love and a desire for relationship.

The 10 types of unhealthy in laws chemically imbalanced. And this, this refers to an in law that has, has a real chemical imbalance, maybe an undiagnosed mental illness where they're not being medicated for it, where they're just not in their right mind. And so you have this person that you're trying to love and honor and have a healthy relationship, and yet they themselves are not in a healthy place. And it can be so delicate to try to help navigate that.
And so this takes you and your spouse really coming together and maybe even, especially if they are addicted or even maybe have an un undiagnosed mental health issue, it takes you and your spouse coming together and maybe even the other siblings, if you have other siblings and doing a sort of intervention, you know, like, and maybe talking to a counselor to help guide you through this. But just out of love, saying, like, we want to have a relationship with you, we want our children to have a relationship with you, but right now we don't feel like you're completely a safe person because you're dealing with these things.
