Hi Jeep, I try to follow my thought to its logical conclusion and see where it goes. I am leaning against confrontation. I don't see how it benefits me or my children if you think it thru. My kids know I have changed, they've said it. I do not want to drag their mother through the mud either. I think I will behave well and firmly stand up for my rights.
I would explain your position to your FIL and that's it. Maybe show him the proof but that's it. If she has psychological issues, airing her dirty laundry will not achieve your goal. Is it an ego thing? What is your goal and how does this course of action get you there and at what cost?
I have thought about that to no end, mutatio. The thing that concerns me is the fact that they a ill and are trying to influence the kids against me. It's already started in subtle forms. My W told my son that he needs to spend more time with her than me. Her sister has made it known that she wants me out of their lives. Her family is batshit crazy, period. So what do I do? Do I burst their little bubble?
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.
