Re:Made mistake w/ brother in law (long) devochic: Let's think positively = not horrible mistake, but human performance error or my favorite...a lessons learned. Sorry, brainwashed at work.
Don't stress too much. And I agree with others, let it be. If your sister in law wants to communicate again she can, but for now she is probably dealing with her husband. It took me a long time to realize it does take two to tango. And even if you told your SIL you started it, he still participated. And more importantly hid it from her. They have issues of their own to deal with right now.
I wish you the best. Take your marriage and this most recent experience as a lessons learned. You know now what to watch for, what to be wary of, and what are rights and wrongs. We learn from our mistakes. That is part of life. Just keep your head up and stay strong. Work on you.
Good luck and warm wishes from California.
I wish you only the best, and may god help both you and your children through this difficult time.
Re:Made mistake w/ brother in law (long) Spectrum: This is a really unfortunate situation, which I'm sure goes without saying.
I agree heartily with the sentiment that ex in-laws just love any excuse to circle the wagons and kick you out of the club. Despite their initial overtures of friendship and support, my ex in-laws definitely turned into a pack of mangy wolves during my divorce process..... all over a cruddy $5k car, too. And these people were millionaires!! Go figure!
I would just cut your losses and seek new avenues of support for the forseeable future. And look on the bright side- this sounds like a family with some major problems. Be glad you aren't going to be involved with their drama anymore.

Sorry to hijack Duck: but Spec your post made me LOL! My ex-inlaws were also very wealthy and got pissy over a $500 grill my ex gave me as a wedding gift. Man, her wedding gift to me, and they wanted it back. I let them have it, after I beat the top in with a bat. I wonder where that old grill is today?? ;D
On a serious note, needhelp you made a mistake while drunk. I've done stupid things while drunk, as alot of people here probably have. You don't need to feel good about it, but as stated earlier it takes two to tango. I don't have any advice other than what has been said already. Walk away from it, and let them deal w/ it. It is a no win situation for you.
Re:Made mistake w/ brother in law (long) needhelp2: You guys are AWSOME! I feel so much better after reading your encouraging posts!! You have made such a difference for me! ;D I am going to take this and move forward!
