[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 300851, member: 1550"] Hi again. Thanks and an update: J's therapist is telling her they should separate for three months, even while they live in the same house. This includes completely ignoring one another, going their own way, and even finding other partners :angry:. That's a great marriage counselor, huh? Son is all upset and did apologize to me. He said he is just having one huge panic attack and I can relate. But I reiterated that verbal abuse and threats don't work with me and told him let's be on the same side as far as I am supporting him through this (not as far as he and his wife are concerned). I am not talking to her because she doesn't WANT to talk to me. He was sort of forcing her to do it and her heart isn't in it, and she probably won't call me anyway. If she were making a heartfelt attempt, of course I'd talk to her. J. and her sister R. have become very tight. R's husband is in Korea in the military and R. decided to leave him. The man has no idea why. She won't tell him. This is similar to my son, who isn't sure why J. is so excited to be a single mom. They plan to move in together and babysit for one another, since Sis will work nights. It almost seems like they got together and decided it would be cool to divorce. They come from a family of chronic divorces. But I'm still staying out of their fights. I will support my son emotionally, but I'm not giving any advice and I'm NOT talking to J. unless she truly wants to do a heart-to-heart. Right now her heart is black. And I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy toward her. She called me once before and fed me a pack of lies, which dummy me actually bought, hook, line and sinker. I'm not in the mood again. I have my two younger kids still to take care of. :knockedout: [/QUOTE]
