I got an email from my BIL's father seeing how I was doing. That was a few months ago. The BIL lives in Seattle. March 2009, after we had a breakthrough that lasted for two weeks, I was actually pricing motor homes. We were going to rent one this summer, take two weeks off together, and drive across the country.
I bet she's forgotten that.
I doubt I'll ever see W's older sister and that BIL again. They don't come back much and her older sister and I never got along. She has W's depression issues without W's sweetness. Her husband is a saint.
I'm sure I'll continue to see the MIL occasionally because of the girls. I've made peace with her so if we stopped seeing each other, I'm OK with how it ended.
I've toyed with sending the younger sister a letter saying I'm glad she got her life in order. There's no hard feelings there either. Sure, W is using her family to fill her social void and as babysitters since I'm not there.
But it isn't their fault. If she were happy with me we wouldn't be in this situation.
In general, W's family is pretty screwed up. I've never been able to figure them out. I just pray the girls don't end up with their issues.
