CG, A/K, can you maintain some R's with your H's family? I'm proof that it can be done even when your own sibling is the idiot.
My H's family has so far been decent. SIL struggles with communicating because she feels bad but has indicated that she loves me.
MIL has been a love. She totally coddles and enables her son but still tells him that she wishes he would try to work it out. There's is a jacked up R...really the elephant in the room that has contributed greatly to the demise of our M. I used to feel hostile toward her, now we are actually closer as she feels she can commiserate with me (her H left her with my H and sister so many years ago). She has been wonderful with me. When the sh*t hits the fan, that could change but I think we will come out ok as long as my expectations of her are realistic (she will not stop enabling him).
H's father can go f*ck himself as far as I'm concerned, he set the stage for this and has only encouraged and supported H in leaving me. No loss there.
