It's football season-all is well

Thanks FY and T^2! I'm really trying to be strong for them and so far they seem to be following my lead. Since w dropped her bomb on them, she has not asked and they have not mentioned staying with her. I assume they feel the need to be at their sanctuary (home).

I've really been avoiding w. And, I've noticed she responds to anything I say or do with anger or a smart remark. Fine by me sweetheart. Stew in the mess you've made.

MIL asked to come by and talk to me. It went really better than I hoped. She starting off pleading with me to try things to keep my family together. I finally had to lay the breadcrumbs out for her. It didn't take much for her to show her true feelings. She was in denial. She is disgusted by w and mortified at what she did to the boys the other day. My BIL contacted me to say the same. They don't recognize this person as their daughter/sister. It helped to know they both see this for what it is. I told both she has to hit bottom.

I will continue to stand. I will not give up but I really am trying to distance myself from w. What she did to my boys makes it much easier.
