[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are visiting MIL who lives with BIL and his family in a few weeks. She has been divorced from FIL for 40 years. She is separated but not divorcing her current husband who is in a nursing home. FIL is married to a wonderful woman who is very kind to him. He married her two decades after he divorced MIL.

MIL and FIL are cheating. At least MIL considers it an affair (not sure about the physical part as FIL is disabled but emotional). It’s enough of a problem that it hurts SMIL. I don’t know if SFIL knows because we have never discussed it.

Last time we saw her, she kept trying to get me to take her side and justify the affair. I kept trying to bring DH and BIL into the conversation and MIL took that as rejection and pouted that I wouldn’t share girl time with her without including her sons.

We are visiting again soon and I am dreading it. DH claims he will sit with her more and I told him that if he and BIL leave me with her and she starts this again, I’m leaving.

Is that the best course of action? Any other ideas? I don’t want to be involved in this situation and certainly don’t want to take sides.

She also keeps asking me for money but I decline over and over. I’m handling that like a broken record but so far it’s working. Yes, I know DH isn’t giving her money. That’s why she comes to me.[/quote]
