[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the posts so there may be more context but I don't understand all the attacks on OP.  OP's sister-in-law may be facing all the challenges people describe but she is still behaving like a controlling spouse.  I am normally irritated at the whiners who say DCUMers would have a different take if the gender roles were reversed (and they usually are whiners), but, folks, think about this.  If the gender roles were reversed and the husband were extremely controlling over the activities of the wife, would you still be as convinced that OP is the one with the problem?

I don't think there is much that OP can do about this other than try to keep a connection with her brother and wait till he is ready to make some changes.  But there is clearly a troubling dynamic in this marriage.  OP is right to be concerned.[/quote]

Yeah men press the brakes fast and hard on over involved in-laws. They aren’t doing in-law family chat groups and daily phone calls and visits from MIL. I bet OP’s brother isn’t ;)[/quote]

I guess it’s normal for you that a family that used to share life everyday on a “stupid” whatsup chat, is now missing two people. SIL has not seen a picture or video of my kids nor has she asked about them since the summer when we were there. My brother and I started talking regularly only a month or two ago.
My DH is also in several of his family chats. 
Our families are all over the world and without whatsup chats we would have no idea what is going on in each other’s lives[/quote]
