The family's in turmoil. S10 and S14 are just now starting to be told (in age-appropriate ways), to get them ready for the separation that is sure to follow. D18 has taken it the hardest, as she's my sensitive one; D20 is too wrapped up in, well, in D20. LOL

My in-laws are just distraught -- absolutely despondent. They call me daily to BEG me to work at this, and it's pathetic and sad. She's killing her own parents.

W and I did have a nice talk last nite and agreed to rachet up the civility, and rachet down the hate speech, for the good of the kids.

Choc.
