Thanks gg. I was ignorant of the relationship my mil had with her son. If I'd been aware, I would've stayed away from him, because she's really messed him up quite badly. But how can people hide their messed-up-ness so well? Or do they really hide it, doesn't it just show up in other ways? I knew when I first met him that my ex had issues with his mother, and I knew we would have problems, but for some strange strange reason I just ignored what I knew to be true. In favour of ... getting a father for my son, who was abandoned by his own father, and wanted a Dad so so badly. But in the end having that "dad" ripped up what was left of the relationship my son and I had with each other. I would never walk in my shoes again. And I hurt so so much for all my children. I can't bear to think about it now.
