Yeah, I was disappointed that my ex's family didn't come to my defense when he left. Not surprised about my ex FIL, as he and I didn't have a close bond, but one of ex's sisters and I were very close, and I didn't hear squat from her after he left.

I understand - blood is thicker than water, and it's not like their intervention could have changed anything at that point. Plus who knows what BS my ex fed them to justify their actions. Yet it's disappointing, especially that in a pretty Catholic family like theirs, no one seemed to speak up.
