[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay your marriage started off bad, now that you are through the difficult MIL it should get better.

Give your husband time to privately grieve and move on. His dad will pass soon enough, and you still have to coparent either way. Work on forgiving and moving forward.

Simultaneously make a quiet plan to get out (finances in order, no large purchases). Just to have in your back pocket. Give your marriage six months or a year and then make a decision. Let the dust settle on his mother’s passing, the pandemic, and other shit from the past year. Make your decisions with a clear head and full knowledge that it was a planned out move.[/quote]
OP here. Sometimes, I think that a new start is possible now that MIL is dead and I can just wait out FIL. The problem is that my feelings towards my husband have changed. I just don’t respect who he is. I think about all the times he stood there while these people were saying awful things to me and the kids as casually as you would pass somebody the potatoes. I think about how he has never had my back. Many times, if I could wave a magic wand and make him disappear, I would. It’s taking everything to be civil for the sake of the kids.[/quote]
