You're absolutely right COG. I can't be too angry with her family. They're protecting her. If they didn't do that there would be something wrong with them. I'm more upset that they have no compassion at all. No willingness to see us work things out.
"I'm more upset that they have no compassion at all. No willingness to see us work things out."
When I called my FIL (a.k.a. the "voice of reason") on the day my @ss got bombed, it really broke my heart that the very same man that gave us great marital advice turned on me and the M. I lived and bathed in that "hurt" you're talking about. In time, I hope you see that they're showing you no compassion because your W has not offered anything to them to show compassion for.
I think I've mentioned this already, but your W's family and close friends really are an extension of her (and her dad is her boxing glove ), so you need to DB them as well given the opportunity.
So we all know where your W (and her family) stands, your dirty laundry has been aired out, and the hearing is over and done with. What are you going to do tomorrow to put a smile on your face?
