Yes, in her words to me today she said that she tried to save the marriage. Not how I'd do it but still.. She said that she begged him not to go, did everything she could think of to try to get him to reconsider. Even going so far as to tell him that he could have his OW on the side if he wanted  But no go for BIL. -Callie

Well, Callie, I hope you can get through to her with the kids. What a horrendous example they are witnessing.
It seems like your sister might have expected this could happen since she knew he was a cheater?

I sent her a link to this site. Hopefully she will use it.
Thanks for the help. It means a lot to know that I'm not overreacting.
As sad as it is, at least those kids will know that they can talk to me and can stay with our family if times get rough. I'll also be having a talk with them.
Thanks,
-Callie
