Matt - I think we all go through a crisis of our own that we are forced into because of the MLCr's crisis. We're forced to take a good, hard look at ourselves.

I was thinking about what pbpetra said about what might happen when FIL is gone. I had been thinking, too, that maybe this crisis your W is having will begin to lessen. She may feel that they finally made amends, she pleased him by doing what he suggested, and then the pressure he has been putting on her will no longer be there. She may very well 'wake up' and see the destruction that has taken place. I don't know. But, with as great an influence as FIL has been on your W -- if you take that outside influence away, things might begin to settle down a bit. But, you know her best. I may be way off, but maybe not?
