If he took her back, just pretend like it never happened.  She didn't do anything to you.[/quote]

NP- this recently happened to my brother. I can't over look it. She devastated her five kids, him, and then just walks back in like nothing happened.

The extended family doesn't know and thinks she is a saint. She is a compulsive liar. I cannot stomach it. I will always support my brother and nephews, but could care less if she were to fall off a cliff.[/quote]

I'm sorry that your brother didn't divorce her, and I worry about your nephews.  :( [/quote]

He is madly in love, now even more so, as if that will help to keep her happy. I do worry about my nephews, they are desperate for their mother's attention. She is a narcissist, through and through.[/quote]

Still not your monkeys, and still not your circus.

She did not do anything TO YOU.  He took her back.  You can support your brother - which may mean being civil to his wife that you abhor.  Be supportive to your nephews.  Do not bad mouth her to him.  It will make the situation worse.  I have family that this somewhat recently happened to.  The couple split up, and the DH vented to his mom, and told her WAY too much about what happened (one sided, of course).  Five years later, his mom is still bringing up his wife's shortcomings.  He is now tired of his mom bad mouthing his wife whenever she gets the opening.  His position is he loves her, he took her back, they are still married, so she needs to chill and stop bad mouthing his wife.

Just don't push her, ok?[/quote]
