F/U to family drama

corgidogs · July 2009

So I don't know if you gals remember about the family drama I have going on right now, but here is an update.

Remember my BIL is going through a lot right now and to top it off people were accusing his wife of having an affair.... Well it turns out, SHE IS! And she is leaving him for HIS BEST FRIEND! My BIL called me yesterday bawling his eyes out. Oh and 1 thing I for got to mention is that they have two kids, 5 year old boy and 2 year old girl.

The sad thing is, he might loose his job(because he hasn't slept or eaten in weeks so he is completely exhausted and royally screwed up at work on Thursday. Cost the company probably $100,000), he might loose his truck because he only has $50 to his name right now and the truck payment is due, lost his best friend, lost his wife, and will probably loose his kids too(because she is the kind of woman who would take them away from him and her parents have the money to do that). So last night was very sad and depressing. My heat truly goes out to him.

Not only is she leaving him, but for his best friend who he has known FOREVER! Poor BIL!

That's so sad! Best wishes for your BIL. He's lucky to have someone like to you listen.

It's so hard, because I don't even know what to say to him. All I can say is I am so sorry. What else can you say to someone when their world is falling apart?

Wow, he really needs family and friends to lean on right now. My heart goes out to him, it really does. I hope he is able to get things together and pull through this quickly.

That is beyond shiiity! It sounds like something out of a soap opera or something. Hopefully he can get his act together, fix things at work and do what he can to get his life back on track after such a horrible thing. How depressing

I know, I could easily write a soap opera with all the drama that goes on around me.

wow, that's rough!

It really sucks and I would have no idea what to say to him either. Maybe just encourage him to do what he can to get his life on track so he doesn't lose his kids. It sounds mean but I would probably go for "tough love" here and tell him to suck it up, for now, so he won't lose them and deal w/ the emotions a little later.

That's terrible! How sad for him. The only thing you can do for him is be there, whether it's a conversation or just hanging out. Offering meals is usually appreciated to. Let him know if he can crash at your place.

I'm sorry, dear.

i'm so sorry, that's awful! hopefully he can try and get himself together enough to work things out at his job so that he'll at least have that to focus on while he's going through all this.

it's horrible what he's going through but he needs something like his work to keep him going or he probably won't have the motivation to do anything and if he doesn't have a job he probably won't have a very good case for getting custody of his kids.

has he explained the situation to his boss? maybe that would help a little bit.
