I have been married for 22 years. My DH has 2 sisters who he works with in the family business. I adored his family they are wonderful. I was treated like a sister not a sis in law.
I found out he was sexting someone else a few years ago, he promised he’d stop (surprisingly he didn’t).
His mum died earlier this year. His dad who set up the business died several years ago.
since his mum died he and his sisters have become very enmeshed for want of a better word.
i am excluded at every turn and he is currently giving me the silent treatment following an argument last month. I need to leave, I know I do. I think he’s a narcissist and his sisters are enablers and his mum had been the buffer protecting his relationships.
i am so sad at the thought of splitting. Not just for me but my kids. I will miss the family so much. I have always had a good relationship with them. But I don’t think I can do it anymore. I have a small but great family who are all supportive but they live 400 miles away. So cannot support practically though my dad said he will do whatever I need him to.
has anyone done this? How did you cope? It will also turn nasty and acrimonious which I’m scared of.
