or they are afraid they are going to piss her off and she will cut them out of her life like she has done with you.
Bingo! Sometimes I ask questions to things I already know the answer to. My W's SIL said her relationship with my W was "hanging by a thread" and she asked me to not let my W know we spoke. Naturally I complied. That explains everthing. Her brothers are really good guys and they just aren't the type to throw themselves into the mix and I get that. I'm sure to see all of them again in the future.
I'll leave them to their own devices and if they contact me great if not I get it. I do plan on sending my MIL a B-day card which I feel is appropriate. Her B-day is tomorrow.

So I try to go as dark as possible -- although it's going to be hard this week -- theater and babysitting crap.
I know I will have similiar difficulties in the near future with having to interact with the Alien (I stole this from someone, it works) because of issues/events revolving around the kids. We'll have to grin and bare it and put the old "Act as if" into play.
Tomorrow is huge for me, final round of mediation, spousal support and child support are at play. My position is I shouldn't be on the hook for a friggen cent of either. The Alien has said on several occasions she will not ask for any and she didn't when she had the filing draw up even though her Attorney was pushing for it. However, given her buffonish behavior and ridiculous financial condition I must expect the worst. Hopefully the fact that I have taken the high road throughout this saga will pay dividends at this moment of truth.
Apparently, her attorney also instructed her to ask me to leave the house and if I didn't comply she could have a restraining order put on me. Although they would need serious evidence of abuse to get it. Fortunately, I didn't move out and my guess is her attorney was looking to put me behind the 8 ball as far as custody is concerned.
CTH I think you know where I am coming from on this.
