I'm Less Fed Up
I really don't like to fight and I hate tension in the household. Oh well, you can't always hide from it.
I feel much better this morning. I also allowed myself a bit of ranting, raving and screaming last night.
Nothing is settled. But eventually I suppose there will come a resolution.
I just don't understand all this. I've never encountered...much less heard of a situation where 2 people can be legally married, but the marriage not recognized by one of the parties family all because it wasn't in the church. It makes no sense to me.
She went with them on a family vacation for a week. I was hoping things might get worked out while they were gone. Maybe they could come up with a solution while relaxed on vacation, but that wasn't the case. I did however enjoy 'my' vacation from the drama.
Annulment is out of the question in this state. They don't meet the conditions. For a divorce neither can see the other for six months...which they won't do...besides why go through all that and the expense just to turn around and be married again? It seems so simply that the Priest can Bless the Marriage and put an end to this, but even that isn't acceptable to the other mother-in-law. There is a glimmer of hope. It seems his father is starting to accept all this...I don't think he ever had near the problem with it that she did.
So we're still in limbo. He's living at home. She...well, she moved out into a friend of her mother-in-law's, but I see more of her now than I did before. She spends most nights here. Since her furniture and stuff is over there, she's camping out in the basement. I've told her to get her stuff and just move home until this is all settled.
I get so mad sometimes at this son-in-law of mine. He needs a backbone, but then I try to put myself in his shoes and understand that he was raised totally different than my kids and never was taught to stand up for himself. I guess if you've never learned you can't just start.
Well at least the steam valve got loosened for a bit and a little of the pressure is off....for now.
Lord, I hope this gets resolved soon.
