Ok,,

W left 6am, working today and me home with the kids...

11am D10 comes in to BR and tells me MIL/FIL on the phone and want to talk with me.. I answer and ILs ask about the kids for 10 min, how they're doing in school etc... Then they ask how I'm doing, so I tell them that if they hadn't heard, I moved back in and have been here since 12/29.. They reply the hadn't but MIL/FIL express VERY happily they're glad I'm back in.

They tell all the great benefits of me being there for the kids etc...I reply that I agree and have still been having a great relationship with the kids since I'm back in..

Then FIL asks me how I'm doing,, and here is the part that I'm unsure if I acted correctly,,, I said that while the kids are ecstatic that I'm back, W is extremely pissed, so mad in fact that she filed for D the next morning...

I know not to get the family involved, but it was obvious that the IL's didn't know I was back so they probably didn't know about the filing either. So my thinking was that I'm not ashamed and I'm not going to hide/cover for the W, so I told them about W filing for the D and how she seemed to want this over quickly...

They told me that they were sorry and that they don't like what the W is doing... They asked why W was filing for D, so I filled them in on some of W actions, threatening restraining order, W deciding to move out 2/1, additional legal action, wants 100% of the kids, all assets etc... again, not ashamed but not covering for the W. Just told them the facts as they were..

After an awkward pause, FIL's supportively asks if I have an atty, yet and if I don't, he strongly recommended that I do.. I did not confirm but said I will wait and see if I get served, I'm keeping most of my personal info close to the chest.

So, while I understand that they are HER parents, the vibe I got was supportive and felt that they were very disappointed in W. Not that that means a lot but knowing the MIL/FIL, what they say is what they mean. Period.. they do not mince words. They told me that they were going to contact the W anyways this evening, but FIL reaffirmed that what I had said to him would stay between us,,, he is a man of his word with very strong principles, but whose to say regarding family???

My response to all of this,,,? I am getting all dressed up and going out with friends later this eve after the W gets home.
