25years here is just about her family because I'm in a bit of time crunch. I'll fill in more about me later.
Her dad's side of the family is very close. Four kids but all but one is divorced on her dad's side. Her mom was in and out of foster homes growing up. Finally finding a home with a very loving Christian family who could not have kids. They had there first kid of four at the age of seventeen and twenty, her mom being he younger. After all the kids where born they had one falling out where her dad left but they reconciled(don't know the reason). My wife was the middle child and was the under achiever. Where the other middle child was the over achiever.
The reason for the final divorce was, when the embezzlement was found out there was also a second mortgage found out that she forged all her husbands signatures. And maybe an affair happening also. This was all to much for her dad and her divorced her mom and moved far away from every one. She was trying to live a very wealthy life. Which they could not afford. Me and my wife stepped in to buy the family home for two reasons. We where the only one who could afford it at the time and we seen it as a chance to make some money if the market stayed good. Unfortunately the market crashed when we refinanced the home to bail her mom out. She was facing felony changes and prison. We managed to pay off some of the embezzlement money to keep her out of prison with the refinance money. Buying of the home helped her dad out a lot also.
As far as them showing any thing toward my wife. I know her dad is a very caring man who loves his kids and always told them that but ruled with an iron fist and would use it from time to time. Where her mom is a gift giver and that's how she showed her affection. And not by words.
More to come later.
