[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never ever ever leave your DS alone with the ILs. Never. FIL is not to be trusted, and MIL can't be counted on to intervene.

Nope. Just set the boundary and be done with it.[/quote]

[b]Yes, but I'm stuck on what to do regarding DN?  Do I say something to FIL?  He is such a bully [/b]but generally does as we ask when it comes to DS - like not telling adult (offensive) stories/jokes when DS is present, not shaming him when he was having accidents, etc.).

I just feel so badly for SIL.

Defend your nephew just as you would your own kid.  Both he and your SIL are vulnerable given the divorce situation.

You have a very dysfunctional situation.  Your MIL might be a saint to your husband and his siblings, but she clings to your FIL's abuse and would probably be defenseless in preventing his abuse of your child and nephew, whether verbal or physical.

Your BIL is going to stay with your inlaws for a few weeks even though your BIL and FIL are oil & water.  More dysfunction.

If your SIL and nephew decide to visit you, you all should try to stay busy and see your inlaws as little as possible.
