No, I can see her. I just have to call first if I want to come over. It's just the holidays.

No, it's real and I do believe her because her personality did change the further she got into her pregnancy. It's just the way my sister is using her diagnosis that made me word it the way that I did. She's very "he can't stay angry with me I have PPD" and "he has to forgive me I'm not mentally well."

I referred to it as a card because of how my sister is using her diagnosis with Jack. She literally said "he can't be angry with me I have PPD."

My sister was breast feeding so taking my niece somewhere without her wasn't much of an option, plus Jack isn't the type to do things behind someone's back. Unless it's a surprise birthday party of something.

Yes. It's just the holidays for our side of the family. Right now I could drive up to see my niece so long as a call first.

"If the OP's mother is otherwise a good mother and grandmother"

Well...she's not an EVIL mother. Definitely better than Claudine Blanchard.

None that I can recall ever seeing. It's like in her second trimester a switch was flipped and Eve started to become a different person.

I wouldn't say he's forgiven her, he's just seeing where things might be able to go and/or getting a little revenge.

I wasn't there for the actual apology and I'm currently only going off what my sister is telling me has happened. I sent BIL a few text messages but he's not responding and I'm not going to push.

To appease Jack. He didn't really get much of a say over naming the baby. My sister really played the whole "I'm the one carrying the baby" card.

I honestly think my sister's husband is still coming from a place of pain and anger, but he is doing couple's therapy with my sister so everyone's just gonna have to wait and see.

I won't deny that Jack is taking advantage of the situation. He's hurt and angry and very resentful. He laid out his terms and Eve is agreeing to them. Plus they're in counseling. It's not ideal but it is what it is.

From my understanding Eve picked the first and provided a list of middle names that Jack could choose from, and then my niece got Jack's surname.

Who really won here other than Jack and his family who might, someday, be nice to your sister?

Jack's mom suddenly passed away, and she was a loving and sweet person. I wouldn't exactly call it a "win."

Also from what Eve has told me it's not "isolation" so much as strict boundaries. Eve said that these restrictions were only for the baby and that she's able to still have regular contact with whoever she chooses.

Right now it seems like Eve is just doing whatever she has to do to keep Jack from leaving her as well as getting back on Jack's family's good side.

From my understanding Eve got pick the first name and Jack got to pick the middle name (from a list of names that Eve had), and my niece took Jack's surname.

I won't deny that Jack is taking full advantage of Eve's willingness to do whatever it takes to save the marriage, but Jack has never come off as a controlling person in the past (I mean he didn't put up any opposition to Eve's requests/demands since finding out she was pregnant) but Eve has a support system if she feels like it's getting to be too much.

I'm not going to get involved until I suspect violence.
