My story, what to do next.

OK so I've been gone for way too long, check my thread (link in sig) if you want to know about it. I've missed coming here.

Only once your wife expressed she is willing to reconcile, and come back and work on the marriage. Then, yeah, you need a "Sister Latifah" moment with your mom.

But NOT NOW. Never shelter a walkaway from the consequences of their walkawayness.

This could go either way. In my case my mom's judgemental attitude towards my W is a lot of the reason my W claims she'd never come back - because my family doesn't accept her. She doesn't link this to her being a WAW, she links it to they NEVER liked her. Now that I think about it more it probably has little effect anyways, as I doubt if my mom's being nice now will convince her anything had ever been different. AAARGGG!!!! good luck, I'll need it too.
