She’s holding out hope for a man who would get the water shut off in a house where his kids live? Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any way to get through to her after a year 😔
If she didn’t have kids I would say stop giving her money. It’s harsh but seems necessary. I don’t think you can (and may not want to) take the kids and let her suffer alone.
It’s tough so my thoughts are with you.
She should take him to court, if the children are with her that’s considered neglect of both parents, if he is the breadwinner he can’t just decide he doesn’t want to take care of his kids regardless if he agrees with your SIL or not and she needs to support herself too. Faith without works is dead, we are to actively wait on GOD. Prayers up for your family 🙏🏽❤️
I'm leaning towards suggesting someone take the kids...or make the husband come get the kids. And stop giving her money. At this point she needs to start taking more responsibility for her situation, that is to get a job (bring some money into the house).
Not sure how legal separation works, but sounds like that process would include details around obligations and responsibilities. If not, mediation at the very least seems required.

To me, that sounds like depression, can the family come together and carefrontation her into therapy?
Does she have a lawyer??
Taking him to court is an interesting idea—I think they should at least go to mediation beforehand and mediation maybe a more digestible solution for both parties.
As y’all recognized things would be different without the kids. Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers.
Please tell me the water is back on. Kids are involved here. So sad! Praying for you and the family!
If he hasn’t served her papers for the divorce and enforced it like get a lawyer and seek law enforcement assistance to aid the situation she won’t feel it right now it’s not going to sink in. Also getting separated is always harder than a divorce (my opinion)
