Husband looking for support

[LiM]

I considered doing the same thing tjcran. I probably came within 24 hours of making the phone call to see if my in laws (her parents) would meet with me. But after a lot of praying and thinking about it, I decided not to and I think I'm glad I didn't go through with it. I'm very close to my MIL & FIL. Have a better relationship with them than my own family. But since we separated (and they don't know why), they've not reach out to me once to say "We're sorry for what you are going through, we're praying for you, etc." Nothing. I honestly done know how they would have responded. My main reasoning for wanting to talk to them was not to shame my W or to get them on my side. If was for them to understand why I was filing for D and why I needed primary custody of our kids. Fast forward a month and now my W has said that she thinks she wants to tell them and to apologize to them for hurting me. She plans to apologize to a few people and I think that is wonderful. It shows she's owing it. But the "rules" do say that you shouldn't try and get family and friends to gang up on her. This is a hard call. It all comes down to your relationship with them. Remember, blood is thicker than water.
