2 weeks sober ( SAD )
Well so i'm 2 weeks in and loving it.
Yesterday my mother in law called me and told me that she and my father in law may be getting a divorce . Which was kind of shocking.
I guess the other night they had a disagreement and he told her," I don't see us lasting" So she called me the next day 9-25 ...and told me that she's done and there is nothing left to fight for.
She's also sick of him being an alcoholic . As she stated "He's drinking 5 days a week now." Which I can't blame her who wants to deal with that everyday? ( he becomes a mean drunk towards her not so much us kids) My husband of course is sad about it ...I mean we both are. However at the end of the day it's the end of the day and if leaving him will make her happy i'm all for it. It's just a bummer.
I told her she should try marriage counseling ... also giving him an ultimatum on the drinking to see if that helps smooth things over.
Time will tell. I hope they can work this out. If not I guess it's what's meant to be.
Thanks for listening. STAY SOBER, BE HAPPY AND EMBRACE YOUR LIFE!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!

Sorry to hear about the family problem with the in-laws - I'm sure they'll do what's best for them, whatever that turns out to be.

Hey Ash- sorry to hear that babe! Another big eye opener what alcohol does to relationships! That's super cool that you have a close relationship with your mother in law and congrats on 2 weeks sober! xo
