I've offended my in-laws

Ad Lib Im sorry to hear things haven't improved at all, seems to be a massive loss in communication thats blown into something that maybe its not. Were you not very close to them prior to this? It is a shame and strange over just one phone call. Best to keep focus on you, if he has at least one good friend he'll be absolutely fine, Men handle things very differently to Women. There is absolutely support out there however for him, I recall reading through one of the bookets and it talks of how spouses cope. My partner only had one mindset, do what you have to do, get it done and most importantly his attitude was its a gliche nothing more, lets ride through the storm it too will pass. He was level headed and matter of fact, coped incredibly well. So day at a time, you'll both get through it better than you ever would have thought and be stronger for it! Hugs Melinda xo
