[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL’s ex husband (ex bc he was abusing her daughter) went to jail for abusing my niece. It started when she was a tween.  It was discovered when she was 15.

My in-laws pov - they can’t forgive “what she did to her mother” (like an 11 yr old was having an affair!).  And was using the relationship to get things/him doing her favors (more likely he was bribing her to keep her mouth shut.

I just can’t even believe they could consider thinking such a warped and disgusting thing.

They have no relationship with her and it’s just so sad.  It messed her up so bad.

My SIL got her lots of therapy, kicked the guy out the second she learned, etc. she did right by her daughter.  Which I am glad she has that support.

But my SIL is still close w her parents.

My husband doesn’t agree with his parents on just about everything.  And thinks they are crazy.  [b]But no one confronts them! [/b]It’s so messed up!![/quote]

Why don't you confront them? You don't have to do it in a screaming and yelling type scenario.

I finally spoke up for my SIL - her husband has been an unemployed bum for 20 years but my IL's blame her for holding him back. It's mental. I finally couldn't take it and just matter of factly said that I don't believe anyone can stop a 50 year old man from getting a job if that's what he actually wants to do. Everyone shut up real quick.[/quote]
