Good luck on the job interview. Don't worry about whether or not it's exactly what you want-it's a start. Also, it will help give you something new to focus on and work towards. That will help you in detachment and building the life you want with the kids.
I'll let others chime in on the family member discussion. My x ILs are watching my kids as we speak and haven't spoken (xh's choice ) with their son in over a year. They love him as they should , however at this point they've decided to let him be. Probably a wise move as they are hurt. Letting him be while painful, seems to have helped them too.
And this is where I drag out what may be perceived as GB downerism.. Don't worry aboy W and rock bottom. Sadly, you may be surprised that they continue down a muddled, grenade ridden path for years. Some never hit rock bottom. And some to settle there with a blanket and pillow. I'm only saying this because I don't want you to get your hopes up that *this* has to be reaching tipping point. I've been there and so have many others.
Focus on you and the kids. Let W keep on her path.
Hang in there !!
