I couldn't agree more. Jp1, do not fret about venting your frustrations. These are honest to goodness problems that you are experiencing and sometimes it definitely helps to get some input from a wide variety of people.

I myself have had to cut ties with family members and they were people that I honestly cared for and loved and may be one of the most difficult things I could have ever had to go through. I agree that you can definitely let your wife know your intentions about cutting off her sister. As long as you talk calmly, rationally and be prepared with a plan on of action, your wife should be able to understand. It is hard to say goodbye to a family member, but sometimes you need to do that in order for her to get her life straightened out. No one should be responsible for her, but her.

Take a lot of time to think it through and come prepared when the time comes and good luck.

Especially when they aren't treating you as family to begin with.

:roll:

Weather.com says, "80 million at risk tonight."

At risk of what you may ask? Disease? Famine? Hurricanes? Tornados? No.


....thunderstorms.

I got tired of all the sensationalist clickbait BS that was filling the site up. Not that I really expected 1 feedback to make them realize they were being stupid, but hey. I haven't gotten quite used to Weather Undergound completely yet, but at least it isn't full of filler garbage.

What makes me even more sad is that, at the age of 30, I have become obsessed with the weather as if I were a 60 year old.....oh man.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to read and chime in. More opinions really helps put this in perspective. Difficult steps going forward, no doubt...but necessary. Even if I was willing to continue doing this to myself (and compromising my morals), which I'm not, it just isn't fair for my kids. Nor is it healthy for my wife.
