Well I thought the weekend would go smoothly. Her parents and I were supposed to have breakfast today before they left town. Her mom and dad are divorced, but remain good friends and travel together sometimes. Mom stayed with W and dad stayed with brother in law. Her dad got a text around 11pm asking they leave town first thing in the morning. I got a text early, apologizing they can't attend breakfast and must leave ASAP. No details yet, but it cannot be remotely positive.

A little backstory. At Christmas, W gave parents an ultimatum that they accept she, OM, and kids as a package deal or they will not get to see the kids. MIL called me and I picked her up, put her in hotel and got her a rental car the next day. Her dad later flew home. They have had minimal contact with W since that time.

I am doing OK, just want this to be over. I pray my kids are not witness to this kind of stuff. Her family wants to do an intervention, but that would likely end in nuclear war.

Is it appropriate to ask some of our common friends to check on W periodically? She looked terrible yesterday, and I am the LAST person she will come to for help. I am deeply concerned for her as well as the kids.
