    Would it really be wise for you and OH to move into MiL's house? Would that not expose him - and you - to more abuse from his family?

    Surely less stressful for him and most definitely you - to break the bonds completely.

    And why are you still answering to phone to them? Ignore them!

    I suspect that the witches are still addicted to all the drama and are wanting you to feed it. I would avoid as much as possible and be as colourless as you can when you can't.

    Sending hugs and a certain amount of cat envy

    (actually, calling SIL and Aunty witches is a bit of an insult to witches. Sorry to all witches)

    It was felt we should have moved the last of the stuff thus calls from both of them to OH until I took the phone told them several expletives and blocked numbers.

    Next stage dog and cat introduction.

    Give them time ....Princess Porky will accept Mr T and as long as Mr T can have an "escape" route - up high if necessary - things will settle okay - it will take time though x
