It does sound as if your d.i.l. could be ill Nonnie. We think our ES must be to have said and done the things he has. You are in an extremely difficult position because if you were to notify the police it could well prevent your DS from seeing his children. It's so cruel to use children in this way. It's bad enough when this happens with GP's but when a parent is totally reliable on the affability of their partner to have contact, it really is awful. for you and your DS.
Lying seems to be a common occurrence in these situations, if telling the truth doesn't justify their behaviour lies seem to be the next best thing.
I think not really knowing for certain the cause of these estrangements is also common Celeb, we're the same. We have our suspicions but the nearest our ES ever got to an explanation was "things change" and "we mustn't do this, it causes too much trouble". At least these responses went some way to confirming our suspicions which is more than some get, you and grannyactivist for starters. That must be harder than no explanation at all.
When is your holiday Celeb? We've got 7.5 weeks still to go; can't wait but must stop wishing my life away.
HELLOOOOOO to you too Yogagirl. It's nice to have this lovely new thread and so many good posts already. After I'd posted about not going for counselling about this, I had the same thought as you, we do get good counselling on here. There's understanding, useful information, contributions that make us think and sometimes enable us to see things from another perspective and support; what could be better.
It's been a good day today, managed to get plenty done which hasn't been a feature of my life for the last weekand DH is cooking tonight, spag. bol. So while he works away in the kitchen I'm going to have a glass of. I'll make sure he has one too and here's some for all of you.
