It's my wife's brother and wife, my wife is in Chicago visiting family with my boys - so she can't run interference, and she wasn't here for the meltdowns that broke the camel's back. My prediction for their future - moving out of state very soon so her parents can help support all of them and then a divorce. So any influence that I could have, good or bad, will be minimal at best. My contribution, as well as all of yours, is joyfully paying our taxes so this blessed event could happen.
I really have given up caring or even pretending to, and was really wondering if my compass is that broken for feeling this way? And like Loco says, I will not have this crap around my boys.
thanks for all your input.
