Split from husband. He's having an affair. The woman is living almost on my doorstep. Having to deal with that. My brother in law and my brother went out for a drink with husband a week ago. Have had no support from them. Brother in law would be here at least 2 weekends a month to sleep over and go for walks, and I would cook for them. They've spent the past 12 Xmas' here. They would not only stay Xmas Night but Boxing Night too. Always fed. Never knew where fridge was. Brother in law friends with the bint on fb. I am totally aghast. Don't know how I should deal with this.

Yeah, what kind of 'family' walks away from/turns their back on, or twists the fucking knife in the back of one of their own?

Ah, right, I remember now.

My family.

I cut them all off now. Can't begin to tell you how much better my life is now.

Yes it hurts like nothing else you've ever felt, seriously, but we survive and mumsnet is 24 hours!

We'll be your family if you want us to be!

Another prob (amongst many others). I have to go to a mutual friend's wedding next month. HE will be there. It will be the first time I've seen him since October last year. I am so emotional right now and so worried and scared.

I honestly honestly lay awake every single night. I worry about everything. I am so scared. Have to hand my marriage cert into sols tomorrow. I am absolutely petrified of EVERYTHING. Lights went out tonight at 11.30. Just the flick switch but it scared the life out of me. I am feeling so useless.

My mum's brother( my uncle) still goes out for drinks with my father, even though my mum and dad divorced years ago. I think she is being betrayed by her brother, tbh, because the divorce was not amicable. I don't know why some brothers side with their sister's partner when she is being hurt by him, but they very often do.

I would wait for the phone call when your sister finds out that her husband is also a cheating shit head. They say that you can tell a man by the company he keeps.....

You are doing so well, keep the faith, we are here for you xx

My sis said something to me via a msg on fb some months ago that she understood everything I was going through. Left me not knowing whether she was the cheater or him. So, interesting you say that Bogeyface, but nobody dealing with anything. I guess I will just have to face the shit when I am the bad guy. With my mum at 85 yrs old going through chemo (yes that on top of everything), I will indeed come out as the bad guy cos I only ever tell the truth. I will always tell the truth.
