Well, yes of course we use comedy as a tool (oh I'm doing a stand up comedy set "dedicated to my stbx" soon, btw). And thank GOD!
Well, your h's family is putting the FUN back in dysFUNctional but hey,
they're NOT fun.
The mom is pathetically weak, which my MIL was too. She called ZERO times when h left me and our 2 d's back a decade ago. She'd only reach out when h was here, which is to say - reach out to HIM... Nice.
When she died, our then d21 spoke and mentioned how she didn't really know her paternal grandmother but that she "hoped" she could learn more about her even now after passing away.
I $hit you not, H and his brother were "really surprised" that my kids did not feel they knew her. What??
How would they? MIL literally never reached out and she visited us once in 22 years - so we had to go see her on the east coast (all 5 of us had to fly to her, never her flying to see us, even on our dime. Nope, she'd "have to leave her dogs". She missed our kids graduations and they were her only grandkids...).
Anyhow, yeah, h's family is not the type to say much real stuff to each other.
And his mom was, per HER childhood bff, "always weak". H's Godmother, was the only one to say "H, you're being selfish")
So yeah, my MIL was useless, and who knows what FIL said... What do you do with that?
Nothing...expect nothing useful from them.
And please don't read into his background or why he does what he does and the shortcomings of his childhood and baggage he hasn't worked out and blah blah blah
he's the father of your kids and he's failing you and the boys. Again.
Still, I do appreciate your insight about his family.
As for YOUR poor family listening to his "sad case" mama's problems, wow, OMG, geez...
THIS^^ is a new one for me here, and that is saying a lot.
