The right thing, part 2

Well, BIL was served yesterday (Wednesday) with the papers for the temp protective order. Attached to those were emails that passed between the ex girlfriend and me. MIL called last night and we talked about it briefly, she knows that I told the ex GF to tell the judge that BIL is a convicted felon with guns in his house. According to BIL, there are 25 pages of emails attached to the paperwork. According to the ex GF she only printed out two emails and because they had older ones attached, it amounted to about 9 pages. I don't know what to think or do or believe. My name was only supposed to be brought in if they went to court and she needed a witness since BIL did tell me on he phone once that he was going to kill the ex GF and her mom.
This afternoon, BIL is taking all the paperwork and my emails to MIL to read. He is a big fat baby and cannot handle anything on his own. He will be 35 on Sept 4 and he runs to his mom with everything.
So, all I can do is sit and wait and see what her reaction is. I will stand by all I told the ex because it's all true. I don't want my relationship with MIL to be affected by this, but blood is thicker than water, and I know she will probably stick by BIL even though he did wrong and ultimately I did this to protect his son and unborn daughter. We'll see what happens.
The ex is supposed to email MIL today and just tell her how scared she has been of BIL and how many times he has threatened her and her family over the past few months and try to explain to her that none of this was done (the TPO or my helping her) out of spite, but it was done out of trying to protect herself and her family and children. BIL has convinced MIL that the ex is vindictive and tries to hurt him, etc. I don't buy that. She has never once gone after him for child support and their son is four years old. I could go on and on. Y'all just please pray that this works out okay and that MIL doesn't hate me. Please pray and send positive vibes my way. Thanks!

I agree completely about the kids, etc. And I know I could not have lived with myself if he did snap and do something to the ex or the kids. You hear about sort of thing all the time, the estranged husband or ex boyfriend will kill the ex girlfriend, their kids, and himself. It just happened last summer here in GA where a guy went to his ex GF's parents house, killed them, her sister, and his and his ex's baby daughter. Then he kidnapped their other two kids, and when the cops caught up with him, he shot himself, but he lived and is now awaiting trial. It is not uncommon, but I just think MIL doesn't really believe that he would actually do anything, but you know, how can any of us be sure? When I was pregnant with Emily, he got mad, and went bezerk--he was living in Kyle's deceased grandparents' house--and he destroyed the house--ripped pictures and shelves off the walls, tore a recliner to pieces with his bare hands, etc. Just imagine if someone had been there with him--the ex or their son?

Thanks, Annie, you are so sweet. I really appreciate your support.

Lenora, I love the way you described it, so true--terminal Best description I have heard for him!
Chad was on street drugs for many years and still has a drinking problem. I don't know if he is doing street drugs or not, but more recently he was very intimately involved with Xanax for a long time, if you know what I mean!
