(((Lynn))) It is shocking how many middle aged adults are still under their parents’ thumb. Most of us are “guilty” of it to some degree. I know I made many choices in my adult life out of concern for my parent’s reaction.
I’d have an honest conversation with your SIL if/when she decides to come back into your life. I’d let her know that her abrupt abandonment of your children hurt them and you’re not comfortable with someone that shows so little concern for their well being.
Have you let your husband know that although this type of behavior is common in his family, you don’t want your children to grow up this way?
