I'm sorry that you're having to deal first-hand with the "blood is thicker than water thing." That must really hurt to have to hear them "going legal" on you (I suspect they were trying to get you to reply with something incriminating, in writing. Please keep your communications with them very vague).
It's already bad enough, then MIL and FIL getting in the mix! If you're like me, I can't wait to get through this all at this point. I just have reached the point where I think life will be better and easier when this is over. I'd like to think anyway. I know you will be happier soon. You will meet a loving wonderful person and have a wonderful life! Just have to get through this bit first I guess. Karen
Geez, Lost. I wondered how long it would take before her parents came to her side. It's what parents do. Using the words they did at least makes you realize they are going "legal" now so you can be careful.
The lying.....saying your mom changes the sheets, not allowing the car for the kids, etc. These are the things that will haunt her eventually. I had a hard time sleeping at night because of the things I said/did. I still do once in a while. Lying and the immoral things she did/is saying will always be with her. I feel bad for you, but I feel very sorry for her. You haven't lost what she is losing. And, since it looks like she won't face them, and you will end up divorcing, she will forever live with what she has done to herself and her life.
I am sorry her parents were given a pair of rose-colored glasses. Deep down, they see what is going on but they probably think we will have to deal with her forever so they better keep that R intact. After everything I have gone through I hope I never become that type of parent that can't stand up to their own child and tell them what for!!
hang in there. Hugs.
