I have to say his family sounds like my H's family...I tried to call and explain to them the issues he was having with depression and all they can do is say "well I went through this or that too and I am not sitting on a pity pot!"...I tried to explain the whole MLC thing too...falls on deaf ears...I finally just told his mom and brother that they could continue to believe as they wish but I was seeing it with my own eyes...he wasn't playing me...he is truly depressed and actually denied it for over a year!!!...Like your H's family...his is normally very sweet too...and of course since they have all been through divorces and broken homes they just "support" H in whatever makes him happy...but you know what...when they first found out he was back with me they were not happy campers!!!...Can you imagine after all the work I did to reunite this family and they resented our getting back together...well, I guess they are over it now...I extended the olive branch...appologized for anything that I may have done/said that offended them...and just let them know that I love them...my home and family is open to them...
That is all we can do...
Sad that it took our H's leaving (2X4 to the side of the head) for use to really examine the dynamics of our relationships..I always thought we had the perfect marriage....duh!
