We have talked about this before, so I could use your take on it. Anyone else please chim in.
After wife left, I'm reviewing the caller ID. I see that MIL called. Thought I better, so I called.
MIL is torn up, W won't call her, MIL stated she has left a VM every day for a week and half without a return. She hasn't seen S and is just ripped up.
Told me that she and Step-FIL are taking my side, tried to say there aren't sides, but she said I have heard only her side and this isn't nothing more than communication problems. When MIL tried to tell W that, W stormed out and hasn't see her since.
We talkes about my drinking, and FIL is on the wagon, so she said he is crying about it and would like to see me. She said him and I could hang out and be sober together.
Told her about the breakdown and that she needed to extend herself to W. W is alone and needs help and questions whether my motives are true. So it would be nice if she had someone to talk with. MIL said she will do all she can. She asked when I had S next and if I would bring him over, told her I would be there Saturday.
She told me that W family has been talking and thinks she is in a bad place and making a poor choice. But W won't listen to any of them. I explained that if she keeps pounding her on that, W will only set out to prove her wrong.
She told me that she loved me, that I will always be a part of her family and I'm welcom in her home and need to be there more. Then she asked if I knew what was happening with OM. I told her the latest and the OOM. She said I tried to talk to her about what these men want, but she just dismissed me.
Then she said it would probably help if her and I compared notes on the backend and it would help to fix this family quicker. I think I have to be careful with that one, her decisions can change, so I'll have to watch it.
Told her I loved her and that her and FIL shouldn't be upset and crying over this, I'm doing well and I'm doing all I can for S and W.
