I am enjoying reading about your detachment regarding husband. You certainly have every right in being furious but I am so I impressed with how well you were able to reign it in. Not easy. Especially when one was being baited. I think it's a guarantee husband and OWs outcome is not gonna be a happy ending show.
If you ever want to talk, I will make myself available anyway you see fit
I agree with you 100% regarding honesty with the children. My mil lied so much to my husband about his parents relationship and all It seemed to do was contribute to repeated cycles. I want my son to know the value of committment, loyalty, and family, as well as consequences for ones actions. But I also want him to be able to have a healthy relationship with his father because it is in his best interest.
