Hi Mark,

I really hope you discover that your W's parents are some of your strongest supporters in this. If she has told them one tenth of the nutso cr@p that she's been spewing towards you, it's going to be obvious to them just how screwed up she is. You are a good man and you have a good relationship with them - no matter how frantically she tries to spin you into a monster and OM into a saint, I believe they are going to see through it. Parents aren't stupid - they watched her grow up, and they will know when she's on a good path and when she's way off the rails.

You don't need to argue the particulars of her lies with her, or justify yourself to her parents. Just keep standing strong and doing the right thing by yourself and your kids - that will carry more weight with the grandparents than any absurd "transcripts" or crazy suspicions. If she tries to go there, just shake your head, smile a sad, knowing smile, and give her parents a look that says "You see what kind of nonsense I'm having to put up with here?" - remember, YOU are the sane one in this sitch!

Hoping the best for you this weekend!
