*hugs* we kinda lucked out I didn’t like my fil from the first time I met him…and the day before we got married my mil found out he’d been cheating for years when his girlfriend called the house and said, “he said he’d leave you and hasn’t some I’m dumping him and I thought you should know.” She filed for divorce less than two weeks later. So cutting him out and keeping my mil (who is awssome) was pretty easy.

*hugs* My mom has nearly divorced my dad at least twice. The first time was because he was cheating and the second was because his drinking was out of control. They worked it out the first time because my mom was pregnant and the second time he wound up in the hospital after a near fatal car accident. He’s in therapy, they’re in couples counseling, he’s also in anger management… 

I dunno, I feel like he probably won’t change his mind or behaviors but I could always be wrong. I never thought he’d stop drinking, but he’s been sober for 3 years. Though, the first time he apologizes I’ll probably drop dead of a heart attack. 

I’m glad your MIL dumped your FIL and that you all can be happy without him, though. It’s definitely easier that way.
