my mother in law has been dating a married man for 3 years. her husband died several years ago but hated this man. his wife just died in a home for cridically ill people. they had both been telling their family they were just friends. but she had choose to having him come over on sunday rather than her daughter which she knew didnt like the man. wednesday she called my husband and 2 or his 4 sisters to invite them to her wedding that was to accure 2 hours after the call. one of the other sisters had known for 2 weeks and the other sister still dont know yet.

I think it's hard as adults sometimes to stand by and deal with what we feel are mistakes our parents are making. Perhaps the old grudge between this man and his father are what's really upsetting him, but he needs to remember that while she is his mother, she is also a human being with needs of her own, needs that are seperate from her children and her family and all the expectations they have put on her.
It is so hard to keep a family together these days, and it all seems to come down to our expectations that we have for each other. I think if we let go fo the expectations, and just love each other, it will solve a lot of family problems like this.

my husband is only upset about the lies and that they waited until the last minute to tell him of the wedding. his older sister refuses to talk to her mother and on daughter didnt know until she run into oa friend of the family one week later.
i keep telling my husband to let it go and i think he is finally getting over it but i think that the hole family needs their butts kicked including him for being so childish about it.
