My father-in-law has been staying with us while waiting for the court date coming up tomorrow. He has been going through deep emotional pain, anger, frustration, and mourning, to name a few of the emotions.
I'm glad that we have been there to help him out, but I'm glad that he has also made arrangements to live with a friend in his hometown after the hearing. It is good to bear one another's burdens, but this is a divisive issue, and we need to maintain a neutrality toward both parties for our sake and the sake of our children.
We know his burden is great, as it has been heavy on us as well. I'm glad that we've been able to help him deal with the first wave of the burden, but it is time for him to move back to his hometown. If he's going to work on saving his marriage, he needs to be in closer physical proximity than he would be from our house.
