A friend's husband walked out on her and the kids. She is ably handling this with the help of family and friends. However, he left his mother in his matrimonial home. He has since not communicated with his wife nor the kids.
My friend wants his mother out of her house. In fact she's looking to move and does not want her tagging along. Advise?

mmmhhh. Ask your friend to think long and hard. Is his mother, (her children's grandparent) a bigger issue than she was before? Do the kids still need their grandma around? And do the two (your friend and her ex mom in law) have any issues between them or do they get along.
ReplyDeleteThe simple point is this. Her (ex) husband is a douchebag. She doesn't have to become one though. To throw out an old(er) woman who is good to her and to her kids and no extra burden, just because her son left her behind, is to become worse than the idiot man she was/is married to. Remember too that that mother has also just been abandoned by her own son and is in about as much pain as your friend. Don't lose sight of other people's suffering just because you are suffering.
