Here is the thing. Every time my sons and their wifes get into a fight and it is often. Their wifes feel the need to call me and tell me they are in a fight and all the details and that they are leaving. This always gets me upset and I have asked them time and again not to call me. Because they always make up and have caused me drama. The other morning before I had even had my first cup of coffee my youngest sons wife rings me with all the drama. You know I am just fed up and maybe being nice isn't working so I let her have it. I told her I did not feel sorry for either her or my other daughter in law because they stay. And I don't beleive for one minute that she is leaving and if she is don't call me.  My youngest son is bipolar and has been off his medication since he met her. her mother drives a bus for mental health and told him he doesnt need the meds and that his pdoc was full of it and so was I. This is the son that after he went of his meds cold turkey pushed me and broke my ribs.. This is the same son that I had to remove from high school because he wanted to go to the school and kill people.  This is the same son that every time he and his wife have got in a fight I have offered to pay for him to see any pdoc he wants to go back on meds. He always agrees and then they make up and he never follows through and sees a pdoc. So far his rages have been yelling and drama. But he is a walking time bomb and no one knows that better than the woman who raised him. It is just a matter of time till he pops here one and some one gets hurt.  I am fed up with the whole thing and I feel I have done every thing I can. They get me upset and then they are made up in hours.

Thanks for the vent.

I understand how you feel and I'm sorry that you are put into that postion.  I go thru something similar but lucky there is 900 miles that seperates us. So i know it must be hard on you.  The battle that goes on with my family is between my partner and my sister-in-law. They are for sure like oil and water.  And me and my brother sit inbetween wondering what we are suppose to do. I have spent hours angry and crying...sad and crying because I don't know how to fix it.  then a light came on and I relized it wasn't my job to fix. I wasn't the problem here.  I didn't start the conflict and shouldn't be made to feel like I have to solve it.  I asked both of them not to talk with me about and I have stood firm on that.  At first my partner had a huge problem, but I think she started to realize what a huge stresser and triggfer it was for me.  Now things have settled down.  I hope that all works out for you.

((((prizmofcolor)))) Good for you, way to go. I'm proud of you, to go to the lenghts of standing up and standing put on staying out of the middle of the conflets between your partner and sister-in-law. That must of taken alot to do it. So glad it all worked out for you. Cong.
Love & hugs!
