I never got any justice for what my uncle, any of the older kids my mom babysat for, my friend's older brother or my cousin did to me when I was growing up. Even if he's not going to prison for what he did to me it gladdens my heart that he's being punished for something. That makes me feel so petty but I can't help if I'm happy.
As far as my MIL and hubby I can only guess they are still in denial that someday he'll become a better person. I don't know. I try thinking about how I would have felt when I was a kid if my mom had gotten locked up. And all I can think of is relief that the hitting and name calling and screaming would have ended. I just can't fathom missing someone like that and being bereft of anything good because he's gone. My hubby cried off and on all day today. HOW THE HECK DOES HE MISS THIS MAN?!?! He still gets migraines from a skull fracture where his dad hit him in the head with a hammer when he was younger. Well according to the family it was my hubby's fault because he didn't duck when it was thrown. Maybe it's a type of Stockholm syndrome 
I did find out that his mom expects me to be her chauffeur since her car is wrecked. Since I don't work during the day I can drive her all over or let her keep my car. Then when I get up for work she can take me and pick me up or I can drop her off. Does it make me a B that I'm resenting that she thinks I will just go without sleep or give her my vehicle all the time? I told her she's not on my insurance, she doesn't pay for the upkeep of my car so she's not just going to have carte blanche. I did tell her we can set up times for me to take her grocery shopping and to appointments and just time to get out of the house for a bit. I think I was fair but hubby and she say I'm being selfish.
