[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 578658, member: 6546"] Greenrene-- I would doubt that the pregancy had anything at all to do with your sister in law's decision. Think about it: She took on the role of "hero" - stepping in to save the day for difficult child and your family. (This is actually pretty common....many parents here have encountered "heroes" who thought they could just swoop in and make everything better.) She quickly discovered that "saving the day" was not going to go as smoothly as she thought... AND she was not receiving the praise and appreciation from her brother for being the "hero" - instead she was receiving anger and resentment. So she was getting flack from difficult child and flack from the family...and undoubtedly a lot more stress and trouble at home than she had before. Given a choice? Most people would "opt out" of "borrowed" problems...and it sounds like sister in law has decided to opt out of this particular stressor... (((Hugs))) So sorry it's come down to this. [/QUOTE]
