Hello everyone,

I am back, after being away for months. The good news is that after a LONG time of looking and temping, I finally found a job. I LOVE it, but it has been a lot to learn, along with a long commute. So, I am trying to get myself back on track-I have a little vacation right now.

DH's "kids" are 21, 22, and 25. They are horrible-lying, stealing, drugs, arrests, among other things. I won't have anything to do with them. I never will. He can, but they are not allowed in my home. They are not getting money, we are not moving them in, etc.

Today, I finally cut my MIL off. She has decided she wants "the kids" in the family, no matter what they do or say. We are supposed to wait for them to change. She is treating DH's daughter ( who has threatened me and stolen from DH multiple times) to a nice dinner tomorrow. I fear this is the beginning, as MIL is planning on trying to guilt trip DH into doing the things DH and I agreed NOT to do. The "kids" are desperate now, because they still do not have full time jobs (one has never worked) and living with BM and her aunt is not going well.

DH is an amazing and genuinely nice guy, but MIL loves to throw the guilt. She had promised me that she would not interfere, but apparently, she has been in contact with DH's kids. And apparently my new job means we have more money now, so we should help them. OMG.

I guess I have to ride it out, and keep trusting my DH. I feel like he is in the middle, but I never thought MIL would be the issue. I suspected a year ago that she was beginning to interfere, but I think I am in for a long road with her.

I wish I could rewind my life, as much as I love DH, this is NOT worth it.
