Re: Bad topic I know...but...here goes...
I think you've done the right thing with your children, as hard as it may seem. You've been given the responsibility of their safety and you just cant take chances, so I applaud you. As far as your sister in law goes, ask yourself the question "Can you be friends and accept her choices?" I dont think you should try and change her or her choices. Perhaps try and understand them but if you think that you hold too much resentment, perhaps distance is better. If you want her friendship, maybe you should write her a letter and ask her for her friendship. Perhaps suggest you have differing view points but that doesnt mean you love her any less. Can you still accept her into your life with her supporting your Father in law? If so, write to her, I say. Family is too important.
On that note, perhaps she believes that the bonds of family overcome the hideous act that your Father in law did. It is called unconditional love I guess, it is unusual in todays society. Its just a shame she isnt extending it to you at the moment but perhaps you just need to reach out first, I know its hard but its worth it.
Anyway, Im thinking of you, its a hard situation.
