The whole family thing is really hard.

My parents actually do care a lot for my H even after what's happened. They see that he has really tried to right everything and he still wears his hair shirt!!! I think a lot may have come from them seeing just how much being without my H would have meant to me though. When it came to my sister's H they kept quiet until my sister couldn't bare to stay in the M any longer and then they showed how they truly felt about him, which was not good. He never had an A 'til things were pretty much over but he treated my sister like dirt all through their M. Your parents only want to protect you and see you happy. You will always be their little boy.

I am lucky and have had support from most people - funnily enough it has been friends with comments likke "well I couldn't stay with my H if he did that!!!" that have been the hardest to cope with. I just avoid those people but you can't really avoid your parents.

Saying that I avoid my H's family like the plague after all the probs I had with BIL.
