[quote=Anonymous]PP, I am OP. My brother in law (soon to be former) was a good father. He actually from what I saw was incredibly involved (I actually lived with them briefly when I first moved to DC when the children were older and we didn't find a house). It might have been a show, but honestly, the stress in the marriage was definitely financial. There were money issues and from what I saw a refusal to cut back from the good times or in the alternative work (she made a decent salary before. no clue how she'd do now). She is pretty clear there aren't other women and her ex is living a pretty spartan life right now in a studio in a crappy area.

I am writing my sister a letter explaining my discomfort. I am going to ask to not be involved because I can't lie. Her ex wasn't abusive, he was a good dad, and by all accounts is being fair, although she has spent an hour complaining about having to sell her house and leave her nice suburb. I recommended she head down my way, a bit further out and cheaper and received a scoff. I have no clue what their plans are once the divorce is done. It's not my business, but until I spend an hour listening to the fall out, I guess. He's pushing for a quick divorce, so I assume things will move quickly once the sole custody idea falls apart (I hope).

We are such different women. I love her, but I just can't get behind this idea.

Thank you guys for posting. It was a good gut check.[/quote]
