SIL Problems

Grab a hot crumpet and a mug of Yorkshire Tea.... this could take a while.

Brief background.
SIL is 30 has DD (9) lives in MILs house, apying some bills but doing no housework and treating the place like a hotel with built in childcare at no cost or notice. Her previous relationships have all been awful, drug users, alcoholics, violent, plain wierdos. She has no job but is in training.

She is currently sleeping with a 50 yr old married man. According to him their marriage is 'dead' and they dont geton. He claims he will leave his DW of 20 yrs in November and move in with SIL. He also claims to have told his DW but wants to keep it quiet with everyone else while things are 'sorted out' He is going on holiday with his DW this month and was seen out having fun with her last weekend.

My DW (SILs sister) is appalled at her behaviour and is struggling to coem to terms with it. Made worse by the fact that if she does move out then MIL will have to too, seel up and move in with us.
Thats not too much of a problem, we can cope but SILs DD has MH problems including eating disorder and is prone to violent and agressive outbursts at no notice. she will really suffer being taken away from her school mid term and away from her gran who she has lived with for 8 years, moving to a strange village, with a strange man and with no notice. SIL intends to just tell her they are leaving gran on the morning they move!!!!!

Am I alone in thinking this sounds like

  1. a recipe for disaster?
  2. the usual bollocks from a married man getting his oats from someone young enough to be his daughter?

Any thought/advice would be welcome.

Thanks for reading this far.

Main thought... stay out of it. Yes, it won't end well but by far the most likely outcome will be that Mr Lover Lover stays with the wife that doesn't understand him and your SIL will stay exactly where she is, just a little older if not wiser.
