Amy1982, I feel your pain with the church attendance. I wasn't allowed to sit with my wife or her family. They made me sit in the balcony....how silly. Since my wife made the decision to divorce me she's all but stopped coming to church. Hold your head up high and keep bringing those kids to church. They need the influence and schedule structure. It's his decision to stop going with you and you shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed by his decisions. Let him carry the responsibilities for those decision. Amy....I'm 120 days into this and it's the worst experience of my life. I truly know what you're going through and empathize with your pain. You're way of coping it to talk about the situation. I just walked around all day wanting a hug. I still do. Can you go see a therapist to talk through the situation? Do you have any family members to talk this through with? Personally, I would stay far away from the BIL. You may not have anymore feelings for him but he may still have feelings for you. Just my opinion so take it for what it's worth. Keep posting here, you're in good company.
