First time poster feeling a bit lost

[MT21]

Hold on a minute. She is the WAW......so let her walk out that door. Don't you dare leave your home! Inform her that she is free to leave but she's not taking the kids with her. Besides, you said she travels all the time, so the kids would need to stay in their home. I don't think it would look appropriate at all for you to be to one to leave.

Sandii,

Thanks for getting back so promptly,
I told her already on the weekend that she is free to leave, her reply I am not leaving the Kids.

The thing is I work about 80 miles away, I travel daily(This is partly the reason I feel so tired and to be honest have very little free time, I lost my job a few years back in a plant closure, so in order to keep a roof over our heads I agreed to travel) we both rely heavily on the MIL for support. Shes wonderful and thinks of me as her own son. She and my FIL are devastated by the news. FIL has put pressure on W to come to her senses it hasn't helped other than to make her feel guilty.

As I said I truly believe that she sees some sense in fixing up the house, so it can be sold for the best price.. clearing the debts etc... so even if she leaves with nothing she sees a fresh start.

She hasnt said as much but I guess thats it. Her income has also risen substantially over the last few years so I can also see why she sees it as a viable option.

(She sounds so cold)(I never thought of her in this way before)
