Penny, I have high hopes to maintain a good relationship with H's family since they live close by. I know it can be done. It sounds like your H's family will stand by you. MIL and former SIL keep in contact and take trips together. (Now I don't want to do that, but I don't want to desert her either). So far H's family has been supportive of me. We'll see what happens over the holidays (especially since H's ow is BIL's friend!!!).
WE WILL SURVIVE! It will just take awhile to get to the point we feel strong again!
