 I am so mad!!! My mother in law was sympothetic to me when her bipolar son was running around with other women, but now that he is all sad because I wont let him come back home, his mother keeps telling me how upset she is that he cant come back home!!! I wonder how she would like it, if it were her husband. I am sure she wouldn't be able to trust again either. I just know I'm going to come out as the bad guy, when I have done nothing wrong. It was her son, not me I hate the way she makes me feel when she says things like "oh it breaks my heart, because all he wants to do is go back home". Well I have to take care of myself. If I did take him back, I would be in this same situation next summer that I am in now I just know it.

 Be true to yourself and your emotional health. If she brings up the topic, try to change the subject. Talk about the kids, work, etc.

 I read this last night and wanted to respond but I couldn't. This just sounds classic to me. I could bet money and win on predicting accusations like these. I would if being attacked by my mother in law with a statement like this say this and I bet she would never hit me with it again. I cannot be his mother, he would love for me to be in the role where I am his keeper and he has the freedom to do as he pleases and return to his caregiver. I need more than that in life. Also that yes it is really sad that he can't keep it in his pants and that he has violated the agreement of our marriage and he should have thought about that when he was out screwing around. It was his decision not mine and I cannot be responsible for that. We just have to hit these people with the truth. Consider it tough love if you want. It's not to be mean or cruel. It's reality and they need to face it and stop trying to placate everything.

I'm very sorry you're going through this.

 And I have to agree with you. You have to think about 2 or 3 years down the road and what you desire for your life at that point. These splits are not easy. But we must think about what type of partner we want. One who can be stable and faithful, or one who will always run on impulse.

 thank you damselndistress, your words made me feel better. I am still upset with my mother in law. But I feel stronger today than I did yesterday. Every day I get healthier I think. My husband is living in an appartment( which he hates) but I cant help that, I need some peace. I am thinking the sooner I get this divorce over the better I will feel. I hate that I go back and forth. The only reason I go back is when I feel sad. When I feel good about moving forward I am in my mad frame of mind. When my mother in law, feels free to share her 2 cents it puts me in my mad state, so she doesn't know it but it's making me stronger. thanks again for your thoughts.
