Nicole, I dont know about gaining a lot of wisdom but as LBS all of us become resigned to our sitches at one point in time and try finding power through our beliefs. I have felt it very often that the site is abundant with WWs and WAWs but not enough guidance for how to deal with WAH/WH. May be someone can guide to specific posts by other users. I have been reading a lot on the MLC threads, it seems very applicable to my own and your sitch. Of course DB techniques and uncertainty of the outcome remains the same. Your inlaws turning a blind eye towards their sons actions is not ok, but you know what they are siding with their own child. My MIL saw me go thru hell and back but as soon as her son opened up and fed his story she sided with him and I couldnt believe how anybody who had any humanity could do this. But then as a mother of 2 young children I understood, she did this as a mother, in some sense a mother is the most selfish being when it comes to her own children and any good mother would take her own childs side. Your MIL might have done the same and then turned the entire Hs family to her view point. This is how it typically works with all families. I would keep my distance with them, if there is anything there you would only get a misinterpretation of your actions and words reaching your WAH thru them, you do not want that. Unless they reach out and want to help you just be with them as you were before.
