Yes, both Mothers (My mom recently, and all my ILs) have been incredibly supportive during the past year and it has helped me a lot, but also made W frustrated because nobody is on 'her side' - not that I am keeping score or anything, but only her enabler-friends are the ones that she enjoys talking to about all this becauset they reinforce her direction (there are only a few actually).

I think the holidays are weighing on her, pushing her to make a move possibly. I think she wants to move out before they get going now that we are through the kids' and her birthdays (4 bdays in 6 weeks just ended). She doesn't want to put on a 'happy face' with me at holiday gatherings I think, or have to be around my family/relatives. Her guilt makes this type of thing hard to deal with. Again, I see her selfish motives driving her and not thinking about how to make this holiday season best for the kids.

She may hold back until January, but I feel like she will bail in the next week or so if she does at all before the 1st of the year.

If she makes it to the 1st of the year without moving out who knows what happens at that point.
