Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Orich]

My sitch between W and parents has a unique aspect to it. Three or four years ago, my sister divorced my BIL. Now, BIL knew W's best friend from family parties, etc. Some time after the D, BIL asked W for BFF's phone number. Fast forward a year or so, and BFF and xBIL are now married. Of course, parents are a little cold to the idea that the man who hurt their daughter is now married to my W's BFF. On top of that, now W can't invite BFF to family parties anymore because of bad blood between xBIL and my sister and parents. I think this festered in her for a while, and now has boiled over since the sitch between W and I.
I'm sure that has some background in her to affect her R with my parents now, kinda like her feeling alienated by my parents is a way to justify distancing herself from them so she can be more with BFF.
