Sitting at home with myself.

[Redo]

Look, for 15 years, my MIL would take me aside and tell me that I was the son she always wanted. One week after my W left, I stupidly walked into the snake's den (her living room) and tried to apologize for what had happened. She went off on me. Told me that I had mistreated her D and that I was getting what I deserved. She also told me that I never made her feel welcome in my presence. Are you kidding me??? What I didn't know is that for well over a year before my W left, she was dumping all our dirt on her mother. I thought our problems were contained, but they weren't. Turns out my MIL was waiting for over a year to get back at me and I gave her the chance. A few weeks ago, my FIL followed and turned on me too.

Yes, they are going to offer to help. But, it may not be the kind of help you were hoping for. To some of them, regardless of what they say to your face, you aren't blood. Hell, you are only family by the piece of paper you signed on your wedding day. And they will get rid of you just as fast as your W tells them to...

Oh man, i did the same exact thing. Only difference being that my W kept telling her mom and sister everything wrong thing that happened from the time of our marriage.

My IL's went off on me and my parents. My SIL went off too. At that time i just took it. I knew that was the time to make points or argue. But yes, good point FOBD, it does not matter how much you've helped your W's family or how nice you were to them, at the end of the day i do feel they just cannot be objective.
