[QUOTE="donna723, post: 300984, member: 1883"] I think your email was great! And I agree with the others that you should stay as far away from the situation as you can. It sounds to me like your son is desperately trying to hang on to this marriage but it's almost inevitable that she's going to leave and it's all going to blow up in his face. He's going to need you a lot when that happens. And it also sounds like your daughter in law is [I]EXTREMELY[/I] immature and unrealistic. She wants to get a divorce because [I]her sister[/I] is getting divorced? And they're going to live together and take care of each others kids? It sounds like me and my friends in 5th or 6th grade when we decided that when we all got married we'd all live on the same block and we'd spend our days going to Tupperware parties and our kids would all play together! And what about the baby? She can't really think that she can just take the baby and waltz him right out of his fathers life because she thinks it would be more fun [I]not[/I] to be married right now! I don't remember if you said this or not, but if she goes to live with the sister, would she be living close enough to where your son lives that he will be able to see the baby and have regular visits? And I know you can't do a thing about this, but your son needs to follow the old saying, "Hope for the best but plan for the worst"! He should get his marriage counseling and try his darndest to keep it together if that's what he wants. But he should ALSO be checking up on what his legal rights are about the baby and he should let her know that she can't just walk out with his son to go live in some other town and play house with her sister because that's what it sounds to me like she's trying to do!
