Well it sure sounds like it's a done deal as far as your DIL is concerned. How is your son with all that's going on?
If I were you i would carry on doing what you are doing being supportive but try not to take sides although it may seem impossible . Try to remain on reasonable terms with both of them so preserving your connection with the grandchildren. A very difficult time for you all I wish you well.

Hi - My DIL has decided that she no longer wants to be married to my son, no explanation just the last 17 years have been a mistake! I have always looked after the children 3 days a week, from when they were both a few months old - they are now 8 and 11. She spends nights away and also a lot of time over weekends, will not discuss anything just wants the house sold, to share childcare 50/50, move 20 miles away and get on with a new life. I have kept out of everything and just carried on looking after the children and keeping them as happy as i can. This is now making me very ill with all the worry. Not sure if I should say something to her and what that should be. I just dont want to make the situation worse than it already is. Any advice would be very welcome.
