Her parents are with her now. I don't know what she has told them but do wonder if they, eager to have her move on from her pain, would help her with the D process and even accelerate it. An unfortunate pattern has been them stepping in to help her out with various things, including finances, even as an adult.

This was a recurring issue I brought up in the past. In this case, I don't know how to handle it if true.

Do I approach her parents first and let them know I haven't given up yet and that we need space and time?

OR

Do I just wait it out and see what she does, with or without her parents?


FYI, my H filed...the fired his attorney. Now keeps saying he's going to "work on the paperwork" but something else always comes up.

Just drop that as a topic of conversation for the time being. Don't bring it up nor ask about it. If she does, tell her you need to think about things before having that talk.

Leave her family out of it. This is an issue between the two of you. I have since cut his family off for the time being, as not a single one has reached out to see how I'm doing, ask if I need help with the baby, ask to see the baby etc.

They have never been very involved since the beginning, so this isn't a surprise.
