"But how can he ever overcome such an upbringing? How can he ever become husband worthy material?
I feel very very bad for him, and for his sisters too. But I also see this as evidence of H possibly being so damaged that he's irreparable.
I tell you what, God clearly needs to step in here. Because this is gonna take some kind of miracle."
Holy crap Mz. Jay, what a story. I'm glad your MIL is hanging in there. I betcha your H decided to stop at the casino because he had that big bankroll you earned by testifying to gamble with.
Everything IS possible with God, you know. And maybe your H didn't have a loving family to teach him normal family values and how to be a loving spouse, but I think that YOU can and will teach him, by your loving example. You'll see, when he finally shakes the beans out of his head.
