I'm glad you still have a good relationship with you inlaws. Mine have said they don't want to get involved. They also shut me out of their lives. Then in another sentence they tell me that they will always love me and that I will always be their son in law. However when they do get involved in turns out for the worse. Wife calls me and tells me to leave her Father alone, and stop telling on her.
Anytime I would call them to vent. It would get turned around on me like I was doing something wrong. I finally told Dad again if you have a problem with me calling then you tell me. I said if you are going to act like nothing is wrong, then please just pick up the phone every once in ahwhile and ask me how I'm doing. Say you don't want to talk about the situation or what your daughter is doing, you just want to talk to SIL.
He still hasn't called.
I tried to explain to him that his daughter is MLC or something, but they don't want to listen.
Blood is thicker than water, but this is ridiculous. Since her Father even told me that his daughter can be a real b|tch. The day I asked him to marry her, he said. Don't let her come back, and if she gets out of hand, back hand her, because she can be a real b|tch.
Well thanks Dad... Because now she is going around telling everyone that I abused her. I never backhanded her either.
