Hi NLW,
About your FIL, keep in mind that at the end of the day they are his parents. They will eventually support him, especially if they practice unhealthy behaviors.

In my sitch, MIL & FIL were telling me how much they would support me. Then I found out MIL asked H to spend the night at OW house cuz his uncle needed the guest room.

And MIL manipulated a situation so that I wouldn't move into one of our apts and H would move in instead.

Her whole thing was, she was afraid I wouldn't let her see the kids. So she made it seem like she was there for me. Come to find out, she was just manipulating.

I believe that she likes me but I don't think she practices healthy boundaries so I started to limit my interactions with her and conversations and EXPECTATIONS.

I hope this helps ;-)
