[quote=Anonymous]My DH's sister is having another "rough patch" in her marriage.  It seems that her DH, after 15 years of being treated like shit, has made his third attempt at divorcing her.  SIL has been able to save her marriage the last two times by using an illness, or the kids.  This time BIL seems determined to leave her.  My FIL is a whiz at getting people to do what he wants, by guilt and persuasion.  He jumps into action and sort of makes the offer you can't refuse sort of thing.  He pretty much told BIL that if he leaves SIL that he will lose custody of his kids.  I know in this day and age that is hard to do.   I don't want to see them divorced, but it isn't really my business.    FIL  is asking all of us to say BIL is a bad father.  He is not.  He is a wonderful father, who has practically raised the kids. SIL is just angry and resentful.  I don't blame him for wanting to have some happiness in his life.  If I have to take sides, it will be BIL's.  SIL is a control freak who emotionally abuses everyone in her life.   I am sure that if I support BIL in this, I will be ostracized from the family.  DH is not going to go against his father.  It should be interesting.[/quote]
