Several months before BD Her dad was diagnosed with cancer. Terminal. We visited him she was devastated. She went into a small depression. Not wanting to do anyrhing but escape reality with TV shows on Netflix for hours and sometimes days.
Her MOther ( who is seperated from her father due to her own MLC) never gave my XW validation or approval. My XW saw her mom 2-3 times a year and always criticized my XW bringing her to tears each time they spoke.
My XW during her parents MLC had no stability no love. Was shipped to aunts and left alone to deal with it all. She didn't get the tools.
Her mother now knowing my XW was so hurt by her fathers cancer invited my XW over for mommy/daughter time. My XW was happy. Finally her mom was acting like a mom.
Little did I know their alone time became talks about my XW youth and why her mother left her father. My XW would come home crying. Saying she hates her father , never wants to see him again.
Her mom bashed the guy. Told my XW that he beat my XW mom. Threatened her and cheated. He was controlling and manipulative. He was a horrible man. She never should of married him.
XMIL left her husband and kids and went out with multiple guys and ending up dating the worst guy in town. A sleaze ( XSIL confirmed it) she was having a MLC that lasted 3 years . She came out of it but xFIL had his own depression and moved on. XMIL came out of her MLC a narcissistic woman. My XSIL confirmed she was not the same woman she was before MLC
BD1 was a month after that. Her moms stories of her dads character became my XW story about me.
Only I know the truth, walk with my head up, give my daughters love and helping them get the tools they need to not have this happen to them .
It is my only goal here.
