Petty, cringing, visceral revulsion, my skin is crawling gag moment.
When DW is getting ready to visit her family she starts using voice inflections, speech paterns, and facial expressions that are a family thing. Beyond the IL clan family tone, inflections, wording, etc... are the additional and amplified version mY SIL uses. DW adopts a few things that are very similar to what my thief assed POS lying weasle of an SIL does though without the whiney "I'm spe.....cial" toddler thing that the POS SIL does.
Product plug notice - A strangely emotional experience.
I do not have any skin in the game with this company. DW and I are avid customers. Ideal Protein is our core low carb medically supervised nutrition model.
For decades I have not had bread much other than a nibble off of a corner of my mom's magic.
Failed family toxicity way too close to home.
Todays active shooter event in Las Vegas was in my DW's office bldg. It occurred on a different floor than where she works.
The event killed a lawyer, and his new wife who he was representing during a deposition. Apparently the shooter who also killed himself, was also a lawyer, and the XFIL of the murdered wife. The XFIL was representing his son. Reports are that the XH/son of the shooter was in the deposition. The dead couple recently had a baby. The victim lawyer is a father of 4.

Binge watching murder mysteries on TUBI.
Two so far. A Vigilante and Big Driver. Both about abused women who go ape shit on their abusers. A Vigilante is particularly disturbing. It is about an abused woman who starts resolving issues for other abused women. I cheered her on but the circumstances of her situation and the women and kids she helps
What stands out are the similarities between the movies and so many SP marriages where repeat emotional, financial, residential, etc, etc, etc abuse happens and it is tolerated for far too long.

Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan.
Mom, dad, and DW picked me up at the airport at 20:00 on Friday evening. We had a great quick weekend at mom and dad's. Saturday we had breakfast with mom, dad, niece, and her DH then went to my brother's house for a morning visit on Saturday. We ended up having lunch at my brothers "club".
Have I mentioned that my baby bro is a business executive savant? He has done exceptionally well. No envy on my part. Just pure pride in the man, DH, dad, son, brother, and leader that he is. Please give me a lump in my throat proud big brother reset moment. Ha... hmmmm.

Its alive!!!
We got proof of life yesterday. It started with a text. "Sorry, I am having memory problems and keep forgetting to call.".
We both got home early enough to speak with him. He sounded good, works seems to be going well. I always get nervous when he goes radio silent as this was highly indicative of poor performance when he was in his late HS phase.
His cat is apparently demanding, happy, and torturing him. I like this cat.

I know that it may appear that our blended family life was all conflict.
It really was not. DW, SS, and me had a wonderful life as a family while SS was growing up. We had very little drama IRL. The drama was SpermClan generated. All we did was counter their crap. We had to make that as painful as neccessary to force behavioral changes. That took some number of years to figure out. Once we did, it could be several years before they decided to roll out their old tricks. At which point we increased the pain settings and fried them. The cycle could be annual, or as long as 3-ish years between their resurecting their toxic tricks.
O/T: When you do a favor for someone, whose time frame is it on?
Your availability and convenience, or their need?
My DW is doing BIL2's and SIL2's taxes from 21, 22, and 23. DW is a very high cost CPA. BIL2/SIL2 are hard workers, make crap financial choices, don't do their taxes for years at a time. They gave her their 20 information mid yaer 23.
