[quote=Anonymous]I am about to project my own issues/experiences, so with that said:

Maybe your daughter has a personality disorder, and maybe you are kind of aware of that. She is toxic, stubborn, impulsive, talks in circles, never wrong and hard to be around. But you want her to be happy and succeed, right, and you don't want her as your problem.

But her DH has big problems, and he is desperate. He is going to last-resort moves such as talking to you. Usually, this is to be avoided if at all possible.

But you CAN help. If your daughter respects you. You tell her in the terms you think she will understand that will not set her off, and then she will know she is on notice and must behave better if she doesn't want you to know about it. Just like a little child, because that is what a personality disordered person is.

You can also help this DH by being honest about your daughter's issues. He is likely very confused.

If you don't care that they might divorce in an ugly way, and cause stress for your grandchildren for years to come, then do nothing. If you do care  then intervene. I have seen some narcissists/borderlines shape up when their Mommy /Daddy got wind of their bad behavior.

They may still divorce in time, only a temporary fix for them, but you may buy some peace for a time and that matters if there are kids.
