Stupid is as Stupid Does

[ClingingToHope]

The Divorce Busting rules I believe say don't recruit family members or friends to be your advocate. It'll just work in reverse.

I remember in late 2008 W said her mom was actually my biggest booster.

That made sense. Despite the way I've treated her mom, not horrible, but not great, she always kept trying to be my friend.

After W kicked me out, I didn't see her mom for several weeks. When I did, I apologized to her for not being the SIL I should have been and asked her to pray for me.

I just started bawling. I was surprised at how emotional I got.

She told me she was stepping back and not getting involved and letting us figure things out. That's what her mother did when she and W's dad split up.

They ended up getting back together although they were no happier than before.

Recently though, MIL offered to lend W money so she could buy me out of the house -- although it didn't go through -- and I'm guessing she gave W the money for the L retainer since W has been broke.

In the end, blood is thicker than water.

I'm dealing with anger over that.

W only has a few people close to her, a couple of friends and her sisters and mother, and I feel like they are enabling her.

But I don't know for sure. I don't know anything for sure.
