Ang, I'm sorry relations are so strained between your parents and H. It puts you in SUCH a hard position. What a difficult conversation, holy crumbs. It sounds like you did really well, DBing them and all, and letting them know that you are sticking to your vows for now. I had a similar experience with my MIL, of all people. When my H disappeared with the Russian for 2 weeks last March, she was IRATE and wanted me to kick him out. I explained what I understood of MLC to her, and she was able to see that H does seem confused and depressed and lost. And finally agreed that I should give him time to get over it. She periodically forgets and goes back to Plan B (kick his ass out!) but on the most part, has become a strong ally.

Your sitch is different because these are YOUR parents, but do you thing they might understand your feelings better if they could see that H is going thru a MLC?
