You read that right. My father-in-law is convinced I am smashing his wife. This is the weirdest thing that has happened during my MAP. A few weeks ago, my wife said "my Dad is soooo jealous of you, your muscles, your success, just everything". I shrugged and said, "it's probably hard watching your daughter look up to another man" then asked some innocuous question about a shirt or something and never brought it back up. I cannot stress this enough: if you are going to get into an LTR, it is your responsibility to thoroughly vet her family. I failed to do so. Worse, I ignored major red flags like her father being a raging alcoholic with anger problems, because I had crippling oneitis. Now I am dealing with the reality of my decision. I blame no one but myself. I should have run far away but my little unicorn was worth it!
 

There​ has been a lot of drama with my in-laws lately. FIL berating my MIL, yelling at her and calling her names, accusing her of cheating, etc. Apparently he will just sit around staring off into Oblivion like a fucking psychopath. I believe he is suffering from PTSD (veteran) but it's not like he went from being normal or average to batshit crazy overnight. He has always been a jealous and angry man. He was physically abusive and he emotionally tortures her even today. He's always been "religious" but now he's going Doomsday level nuclear. It's fucking wild. If I take a step back, it's rational to see that he is having a nervous breakdown. This is not all about me.
 

I called him out years ago for the aggression he shows towards his wife because I didn't want my wife and I to be around it. Since then, things have actually been pretty good. They sort of just avoid each other when we're​ there and I know this might be hard to believe but they're great with my kids. Way more engaged than my parents. For now, I have instructed my wife that I do not want her nor our children near him and recommended her to encourage her mother to go to therapy. I also encouraged my wife to go talk to someone professionally. I think I will just stay out of it. He doesn't want help, her mom isn't going to leave, and now I'm caught up in the middle of the drama (not literally, I'm not engaging in any of this shit, but as far as he is concerned this is real and he has evidence!).
 

I spent some time listening to my wife talk about it, consoled her and let her cry on my shoulder, told her everything was going to be okay, set some guidelines and recommendations and now I'm moving on. I have my own family I'm responsible for and I am encouraging her to cut her parents out. I want it to be her decision so I'm gently easing her into the idea. If I thought there was hope, I might take a different approach.
 

This is Jerry Springer shit here bros. Take this as a lesson. Learn from my mistakes. If your girl has a dysfunctional family, especially if drugs and alcohol are involved, GTFO. She will either be a whore or a broken woman who relies on you to be everything for her. Or both! You have better shit to do. I could master a hobby in the amount of time I have spent listening to her family drama and dealing with the emotions. Luckily, I now have an RP lense to see this through. I'm trying to figure out how to parlay this into a threesome with her mom... wife wasn't totally into the idea but it did make her smile so we'll see (joking). The night started with her crying about this and ended with her laughing with cum all over her face so not all is lost. But.... What. The. Fuck.
