Steve ~ You're right about the oscillations. At least the down times don't last as long anymore. And, as you say, I have the skills I need to get beyond that.
ISLH ~ Thanks for your words of wisdom. Who knows if they've accepted her or not? I was upset b/c we're not D'd, and I don't think it's appropriate to be welcoming her into the family, but it wouldn't surprise me if they think we ARE D'd. It's not like H would tell them anything.
The good thing that came out of realizing that something could happen to my kids when I'm not there, is that it drives home the point to always say good-bye on good terms.
FIB ~ I haven't talked to my MIL or FIL in months, and not about H in well over a year. My SIL and I still see each other occasionally, but we do not discuss H at all. At least your ILs had the guts to say something to your W; mine are wimps. Hmmmm, I wonder why he's so non-confrontational?
