My brother has been one of my main confidants about my situation, and has told me of one awesome side effect of my whole disaster. He recently told me that because of what I'm going through, he and his wife have really worked to fix some problems in their marriage, and they're doing a lot better. My parents went to visit them recently and said how surprised they were that the demeanor between my brother and SIL was so much more positive. That made me feel really good.
