Wayward Wife and the Way of LRT

[pilot]

Any news from OM's wife?

What's your current temporary custody arrangement?

Why have her parents taken in their wayward daughter? I ask this one because I wouldn't take in my daughter in the same situation. I'd send her home to her husband (who I gave her to on their wedding day) and tell her to work it out with him, dump her OM and quit her job at the hospital. I'd also probably make my own visit upon OM telling him to get away from my family and hurting my grandchildren. I'd 100% support my son-in-law after accessing the real facts of the situation to the best of my ability (hopefully discerning what is real and what are wayward lies in the process). Why are her parents enabling her??

I can probably speak to this a bit from experience. My in-laws, particularly my FIL have been ultra supportive of me and the idea of my W and I working on our M. So much so that my W holds deep resentment towards her dad. He told her early on that when she married me, I became their son and family, so they were going to treat us as equals. Her dad and I spent countless hours on the phone and hundreds if not thousands of texts between us during all of this ordeal. All of this support and his has no idea of just how far his D strayed.

Now, all of that being said, she is their only child. When we S, we both went to live at our parents homes respectively. It was the beginning of summer, and we left our home town for the S. This was done to make the transition for the kids as seamless as possible. We were about 4 hours apart. Now when summer was over and the S was not going to end, we had to put the kids in school somewhere. Her parents helped support her moving down closer to where I am so the kids can go to school at the best ones. She does not have a job and on infrequent occasions she might help her aunt out a bit for some cash. Her parents are covering her expenses because as her dad told me, she is our daughter and we have to help. Enabling? Sure. It has kept her from getting a job and learning to support herself.

I always knew that no matter how much her parents supported us working on the marriage and how supportive they have been towards me, blood is thicker than water. They will always side with their daughter. She has them believing a very elaborate lie right now. All of this will come out during our divorce trial and they will get to see just what their D has been up to. Do I expect them to cut her off afterwards? Of course not. Family is family, and I can respect any parent sticking by their child no matter how much I disagree with their choices.
