Brother-in-law avoids family for 10 years after they "borrow" his expensive equipment: '[He's] putting money in the way of a family relationship'

People have a funny way of excusing their bad behavior: just blame it on someone else! 

It can be really difficult to set boundaries with your family members. You might want to ask you parents to stop bugging you to do chores every time you see them. But they might take it the wrong way, or they might disagree and turn it on you. It's complex, and the dynamics vary from family to family. 

This person is trying to figure out why their brother-in-law is avoiding their family, but they have everything wrong. They claim that their dad and brother "borrowed" some equipment from the BIL about a decade ago. But they're really stretching the definition of the word borrow. Dad and bro not only "borrowed" a skid loader, but they wrecked it, and spent all the insurance money on themselves. How can they even write the post without realizing how badly the family has treated the BIL? You can read it for yourself down below, as well as the quick update they gave to people's questions.
