Good point you make! DB the whole family circle! Is it possible, though??

My D was shocked when it happened. She seems to be recovering now. In fact, I think her time with my good friend over there was worth the trip alone. Even though she had to endure the indiocy of her real family, now she knows they're not people she would choose as friends, if she had a choice. My friend who hosted her gave my D a different, neutral perspective and finally encouraged her to see things more balanced than feeling only sorry for her father and less for her mother.

As for the stupid sister-in-law... she just proved my first impressions of her remain unchanged. She still practices the same manipulatitve ways, so she hasn't changed at all. She is getting her comeuppance because her husband, my bro-in-law has been less than the ideal man she thought. She's the main breadwinner and she doesn't like it because he's clinging on, presumably he says for the children. He knows who his meal ticket is and he's not about to give it up.

Does acting to tell her off get me closer to my goal... the answer is - it has no relevance. She's an idiot and that's her fate. She's alienated my D and it doesn't appear it's any great loss.

Thank you for guiding me on the right way to thinking!
