[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks everyone for your support.  My DH confronted the guy who apologized to my DH.  That doesn't cut it.  My DH is on board to the extent that I can ban said family member from our house and that we won't be going to their house.  My DH also agrees that our children will never ever "be alone" with this man, but I don't think my DH has fully grasped that my children will never EVER be near this man again. Even if other family members are present.  I think the harder situation is going to be when the entire family gets together at a neutral location.  My in-laws don't see fault in anyone, and they will always take their own daughter's husband over their son and me.  It is just the way it is.  I probably won't have to deal with this situation for about a year, and, by then, I just know that when the fury has died down, my in-laws will tell me that I'm being silly.  I am going to stand my ground though.

Oh, no alcohol.  This happened during the day.  If I told you what I said, you'd find the behavior even more inappropriate. Let's equate it to a comment about the weather.  I'm not kidding.[/quote]
I don't get why people put up with abusers.  I find that with my own family that people act like I am talking about the weather when abuse has been involved.[/quote]
