Starting to get "It" #2

[LR1]

25,

Thanks for the input. They are in still in the session now so its been going on 2 hours. Not sure how things are going, but I hope they are ok. Another development today which will probably bring down hell onto me is my FIL and BIL are firing the OM today.

Barring that, get her out of there. SO instead of telling her you won't "let her go" with the kids (I know why you said that, but think of how it sounds to HER), tell her
that you'd support her leaving, together and getting the kids away from that too. REgardless of what happens to the M....(besides, maybe your inlaws could back off a bit too when they learn of the intent to move. They're NOT well).

I agree with this statement. I know that what I said didn't sound good to her, but when I said that she backed off and said that she would never take them from me. So we weren't fighting and she was frustrated and I definitely understand that now is the time that we remove ourselves from this situation. I just hope that we can do it together.
