Hi Uphill! I am so glad that things are looking good for you! I find it awesome that you jumped in and did what you had to. Sometimes that is what is needed.

Example of that is one day when it was getting rough, a friend of XF who knew PART of the story, posted a very rude/obscene rant aimed right at me, my sister and mother. XF was at work and it stayed up for over 8 hours until she saw it and got it removed. I knew to steer clear but my mom and sister reacted and defended themselves... That is the kind of thing I do not want affecting my life moving forward.


I have this issue also - my mom and sister in law are very quick to judge and jump and say crap without thinking about repercussions. I told my W something very similar to what you did about everyone else falling where they will. But my W is hung up on what my family thinks of her - and sometimes the way she sees things (even if they aren't there). I just wish my family would stay out of it.

There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
