[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your SIL is using you.  Don't play those games because you will ruin the relationship your DH has with his brother. Do you want that? [/quote]

No, of course I don’t want that. In fact, I am always encouraging my husband to be close w his brother. I’m wondering if you’re right that my SIL is using me and trying to break up my BIL’s connection to my husband in the process. I had never considered she might do something like that. But now I’m suspicious of her. This sucks. I hate the drama.[/quote]

What you need to do is stop thinking in such dramatic and absolute terms. You don’t need to cut your relationship with her. You don’t need to make any long term decisions. Right now I think your BIL needs support so it’s fine to put more distance in your relationship with SIL. Talk to her less for a few weeks/months and focus primarily on her and the kids. End the conversation when she brings up her relationship with BIL.

It’s not all or nothing. [/quote]

You’re right. Thanks[/quote]
