How are you guys doing? I've been thinking about you and your family.

Things are going. Its not great because well who wants to be away from their husband for an unknown amount of time but we both know that this is the right choice for our daughter and my sanity. I also hate that DH has been stuck to deal with the fallout of O and I leaving by himself. FIL & MIL started going off on him about how could I just leave and I horribly disrespectful for leaving without saying good bye to them and a bunch of other bs. He then got into with just his mom the next day cause she wanted to fight about it more and he told her what I told him," if it was anyone other than FIL doing this would you still feel the same?" She still just doesn't get it or refuses to admit he is wrong. They are both ILs so mad at me right now that even if I wanted to come back I cannot come back to live with them. DH also told his mom that because of this he no longer wants anything to do with this dad. I wish I could say I am sad that it has cone to that between them but I cannot cause it would be an all out lie. I am enjoying my time with my parents so far. They live about 30 min from Mt. Rushmore so the entire area is just amazingly beautiful. I am sure we will be taking some hikes and maybe do some biking and stuff as the weather has been and should stay nice. Also my mom and I are going to be making O some new diapers so once we get started I will post some pics.

DH rocked his interview (it was an hour and a half long and he was intervwewed by 3 people) but then someone else came along with some extra skills so it looks like he may not get that position. His friend who works for the company already said there are going to be a few more positions opening up in the next two weeks or so and they hope to find a place for him. But also they were so impressed by him one of the managers thatinterviewed him is passing his resume onto his wife because her company may also have something that his skills are greatly needed for. He and his best friend took off this morning and are going to CT this weekend to visit some other friends so I am very happy he is getting some time away as well.

Glad to hear things are working out (even if not ideal) and that YH has come around. Keeping my fingers crossed that things get even better for you!

O did amazing on our little adventure getting to my parents house. She was great on both of the flights we took getting complements on not only her cuteness but also how great her behavior was. We flew to Denver and my dad picked us up there and we drove to SD from there (this saved a little more than $400 on the airfare) She was really well for most of the drive also only the last hour or so she gotta kinda fussy but she didnt have an all out melt down while on the drive. Its been an adustment for her and she is teething now so its been difficult without DH around to help. She is getting more comfortable with my parents and still STTN so I cant complain. I know eventually things will work out and the three of us will get to be a family again (i really hope soon than later)

Also I am sad because about a week before I left i had to send my laptop for repairs so I dont have it with me ( But I hijacked my moms Nook Tablet and I am really liking it. I figure this is a good test for if I want one or if I should get a larger tablet. This is also why i replyed in multipul posts to save all you ladies from an ugly giant wall of text

Wow...it sounds like such a tough situation, but I'm SO happy to read that your DH put his foot down. Hopefully your MIL will see that her husband's behavior is unacceptable and understand why you had to do what you did. But if she doesn't, at least your family is away from that man. Good for you! It took guts to leave, but it sounds like it was the right decision. Enjoy the hikes/outdoor time in SD and I hope things get back to "normal" soon.

you are so brave. i'm glad everyone seems to be adjusting and good for you DH for sticking up for his family. that can't be easy. and MIL and FIL will either get over it or they won't. either waay you did what was right for your family.

I'm very proud of you, and you should be too.  That sounds kind of patronizing, but I don't intend for it to be.  I think one day Olivia will be proud of her Mommy (and Daddy too) for overcoming some big challenges to do what was best for her and your family.  I hope you all contiue to settle in well at your parents', that they enjoy getting to spend time with O, and that your DH continues to wow the right people.  It's only a matter of time, right?

I have been MIA so I didn't see the update that you left. I just wanna say GO YOU! You are an awesome Momma for taking a VERY difficult stand for your baby girl. Props to your DH for also taking a stand and for supporting your decision, as hard as it may be.
