Peace, I got some info that makes me worry that X might pull the same thing. I know how it is to hear the little ones confused as to where the parent is. At least your ILs support you.
I'm sorry that you have to deal with this with your kids, but you sound as if you are handling it in the very best way that you can.
Otherwise, you sound as if you are doing OK with the rest of your life.
I keep wondering if X will come off this journey or what....
