They all do this, this is typical, did you expect him to be the exception to the WAS rules?? And if you did... WHY???
WHY do you think your sitch is so unique?? It is the same--they are all the same. There is hardly any difference between yours and 100 others on here. You gave it a fancy twist by including your in-laws. All 100 of these sitchs could do that to some extent or the other.
The only unique thing that I found in your sitch was YOU--that you are very intellegent. No brainer here, I thought--she'll catch on to this stuff in no time!!
If there is no drug/alcohol abuse or mental illness (diagnosed, not just "he's crazy") there is life. The LB has to do SOMETHING. When you do nothing but complain, whine, make excuses for your LACK OF DOING ANYTHING, I think this brings you to a point lower than the WAS just leaving.
Because this ultimately is about you D4ML. And you know it. It is depressing.
