My H was very close to my parents, not so much to his, just about tolerated his mother.
Not now, he is now close to his mother, has nothing to do with mine.
He seems to be in full agreement of his mothers actions, interestingly his father was very ill when he had his 1st crisis, he died we got H back, but I don't think this is the significance, I think the significance is major problems at work more than family issues, although this is totally denied, he claims that demotion is the best thing to have happened, claims it was the wake up call he needed, and he enjoys his work,he lives work.Used work as his excuse for not having time for seeing sons when he first left, told them he was too busy, that they should make it easier for him, because he has a really busy life. Both times he has had problems at work he has gone off the rails, only this time it seems for good, not just a few months.
