Got an Email from Twit's Hubby Late Yesterday

He's a nice guy. He sent me the birthday card on my birthday.

He said in it that family is very important to him. He knows that he can't change someone's mind (meaning Twit I guess) but he wanted me to know if I ever needed anything he would try to help out if he could. And I should pass that on to DH as well.

I know his intentions mean well, but any contact with him asking for assistance by either DH or I would probably be haulted by Twit. After all, when we have needed help in the past she has put DH off telling him she is SOOO BUSY and would get back to him. Sometimes it was months before he would hear back from her on the matter.

I am going to have to think about how to answer this as, I am no contact with her, and wouldn't want to give her any crack she could climb into.

This was actually big hearted of your son-in-law and it shows that he does not agree with his wife but I would not take up and I would not feed into this. Just a thank you is enough and then leave it be, otherwise this could become something you really don't want to deal with.

That is kind of how I took it. Trust me, if we needed anything and asked, Twit would stop her husband from helping us cause she rules the roost. I know that, I have watched him just stand by looking blank, or away when she pulled some of her nasty carp on me. Or when she got up in the middle of the Thanksgiving meal and announced she was going shopping, her hubby just sat there saying nothing! If I ever did something like that DH would definately have a few words to say about manners and behavior. Funny, now Twit doesn't want to have anything to do with me (probably because DH hasn't forced me on my knees to beg her forgiveness like she was demanding.

Doesn't she, or even her husband realize that I stopped contact with her long time ago. Now it is a case of she is the big shot because she is cutting off any and all contact with me.

Well if that is true then she sure as h*ll should stay off my phone and stop leaving messages.

Well, after some thought I just emailed back to him that I thanked him....period. Didn't gussy it up with any other verbage or tell him we loved him, just a think you. Let's face it, his intentions may be good, but his wife isn't going to let him do anything for us, especially me.
