Something happened 2 days ago that was totally unexpected. My SIL (H's sister) called me to say their stepmother is in hospital. This is stepmother my H is currently living with. SIL was looking for my H, and I helped her with that. Then I drove, with some trepitude, to the hospital to see her. I was uncertain about this because H has made met think his family all is totally supportive of him and thinks I am all wrong.
Boy, that was incorrect! H lied to me again. I was accepted by SIL, his stepmother, and assorted other family members with open arms. I found out they are all disgusted with H for his actions,his moving in on stepmother when she was ill (H never noticed she was ill), his taking advatage of her hospitality by leaving her house every morning before the crack of dawn and not returning until at least 9 PM every night.
I told H's stepmother very little, but did have a heart-to-heard talk with SIL about situation. She said they all know H has changed completely and is no longer the person he once way.
I'm treading lightly because, bottom line, this is H's family, not mine, and I know blood is thicker than water. However, right now they want to communicate with me and I want to do the same with them.
I don't want to do anything to make H angry, however, and to alienate him any more than he already is.
