OW has been very concerned that if her and H end up together H's family will never accept her or love her the way that they love me. They have all said that they wouldn't accept her, but I know they're angry and if this is what H decided they would have to live w/ it. I really never said anything to OW about what they've said. SIL called OW last night and asked her what she was thinking? Why couldn't she find her own man? How could she do all of this and let it get so far? OW said H was the one chasing her. SIL said well, at any point in time you could have told him to go home to his wife. She ended up making OW cry. OW asked if she could send SIL pictures of OC. SIL agreed and gave her an address to send them to, she told OW that she would not let her feelings toward OW affect her feelings for OC. SIL also told her that their selfishness has affected the entire family. She said that her Dad has cried about the situation, and that the entire family is crushed. I kind of laughed at SIL calling because I had just been thinking "I wish that OW knew that it won't be so easy for her to just move into the family like her and H think."
On another note I made a baby step yesterday. H and I did not talk the entire day, except for an e-mail exchange about work being done to the house. He came over to work last night, I was already in bed. My dog knew he was there and wanted to go see him, I opened the door let the dog out and went back to bed. H worked for a few hours. I fell asleep and woke as he left only to let the dog outside (I didn't see him though). (My dog is deaf and he can't stand if he thinks you're outside, he has to see H leave.) So we didn't talk at all. I tried really hard!
We're suppose to go to a class for the baby Thurs. We'll see what happens w/ that.

That's wonderful! LOL I wish someone had called my OW to let her know she was treading dangerous waters! Kudos to your SIL!!
And I think every baby step is a step in the right direction, congratulations! Your strength and grace is AMAZING!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
