[quote=Anonymous]Agree with those who are saying the fact that DIL has dropped the divorce bomb on OP means she's basically on the verge of dumping the son and filing. She's not looking to you for help or to get encouragement to keep going, OP... and she's not letting you know she "hates" you or anything like that. She is just giving you a heads up that she is miserable and this is pretty likely to happen regardless of anything you have to say. Just like your son and DIL didn't listen to you when it came to having a second kid, they probably won't listen to you now. Just be as supportive as you can.

I also come from a culture where the parents don't just back off as soon as the children are grown with families of their own. But I grew up here in the US, and while I value their input tremendously and their disapproval breaks my heart, I'm Americanized enough that I'm going to ultimately choose my path based on what makes me the happiest, rather than keeping the family together at any cost to myself and my own well-being as I'd be expected to do in my culture. I suspect your DIL is thinking the same thing.  [/quote]
