Funerals are traumatic and when you throw in the level of dysfunction in his family it is a recipe for lots of drama. I can totally see you not wanting to file for separation while that's going on.
Hopefully you can stay a bit detached from the sibling arguments that may arise and remember that our tendency to want to fix things that are not our problem really is NOT our problem. I'm assuming the kids will be going? Might want to think about having a plan to keep them away from the fray like suggesting you guys stay at a hotel instead of at mil's where you can't escape?
Deep breaths, find something good to read and let him deal with his siblings. There are some beautiful areas around DC to take kiddo to if its depressing and the sibs are at each others throat running around to claim possessions and such.
Sorry my friend, I'd puppysit if you lived around here - nothing like a puppy to make you forget the stress.
Hang in there - take care of you and DS. Hopefully AH will turn to you and not ON you through this but keep in mind that he's not allowed to take it out on you.
LOL, pretty much!
Ah has been fine around us but he seems almost emotionless right now and he was like this when his dad died, too. Anyway, I still don't know the details because they're having trouble making decisions regarding the funeral, etc and they aren't communicating with AH. This will be an interesting trip because AH will stay afterwards and clean out the house a bit. He already thinks his brother is suspicious of him stealing stuff from the house and he has already accused his sister of being glad this has happened so she can get her measly inheritance. UGH! Should be a blast.
