train, how are you?

[Train]

I don't see myself wanting to be around his family.
Yep. Even if relationships with in-laws were great pre-BD (like mine were), strained relationships with in-laws = one of the many casualties of an A.

I hear you loud and clear. I darn near threw dynamite on my relationship with H's family while he was wayward last year. And I've expressed to them, since he returned, how little I respect how they handled things. I mean, not once did they question WTH H was thinking. It was alllll about "supporting him no matter what." It really helps shine a light, actually, on how and why H handles things the way he does: He's spoiled slap rotten.

Obviously, I know blood is thicker than water. But morals are morals. Values are values. I don't care WHO you are.

Ah well. I could spin my wheels about that all day ...

Bottom line is: I've learned that for myself at least, my love for my children is absolutely unconditional; my support of their choices, however, is decidedly not.

Omg, dealing with a flipping hangover....
My always trusty hangover cure: Drink another one! And cheers!
