I think if Choc was here he would say, why are you protecting them! They made their bed!
On the other hand, I understand. Everyone in my family thinks the world of my H. I wouldn't want them to think bad of him either.
We are just TOO NICE. Too compassionate. Our hearts are too big. Shoot, I don't even like to kill bugs.
So, LWB, good luck with your mom. That's one thing I didn't have to deal with. My immediate family (parents and sisters) knows what he's done, but they still act ok towards him. My H couldn't believe that at first. He kept asking, are you sure they know?
