Your wife and kids will take cues from you. If YOU are calm and collected, they will follow suit. I'm praying for ALL of you. Including your MIL.

Were it me, there would have been a running commentary of what I wish I could have said, mumbled under my breath as I worked. I get what drives you to do this.

They almost get to the top of the hill but instead of going over, they turn left. Or right. It doesn't really matter which way they go because unless they are constantly moving forward - they are sliding back. I am so sorry. It is so hard to watch someone struggle with sobriety and lose.

You're hurt and upset over her duplicity. So you need to get back to normal as quick as possible. I'm sorry you have to go through this. It really sucks. I know the feeling. Rock on.

I went through something similar with my own mom many years ago. She never got the help she needed and was dead before she turned 60. I am so sorry for your family that your mil is doing this to herself and your family. How is Maggie handling it all?

You did everything humanly possible (and probably moreso), consider your family now. I know Maggie has to be heartbroken...love her, hug her. You know there are some things we cannot change in this world...and there is a stronger hold on the MIL than her family. My heart goes out to you, your compassion and strength are incredible. I am constantly thinking about you...you must be (are) a tower of strength. I completely understand the need to “restore” the house to pre-MIL state.
