Hi Breton, I wanted to see how you are. I wanted to let you know that our sitches are quite similar. I am not good at keeping a thread so I bounce around. I guess I also belong in MLC territory. Regarding the MIL, I find it best to act loving. My MIL thinks of me as a daughter and a conduit to her most precious love, my D6. I always let her know that I love her son as a best friend and want him to be happy no matter what. I tell her not to worry and that everything will be fine. That is vague enough.
Regarding post patrum Our MC mentioned that I may have had post lactation depression. A lot of our problem occured the time of my S2's birth and worsened when I weaned him, more depression and isolation. I did not see this because I may have only had eyes for him, my S2! If you saw him you would know why! My little prince.
Regarding the OW: My aged, short, skinny, balding, grey haired, shy H has also met someone who looks like a teen and acts like a street urchin, literally, one of those people who panhandle in the city. He has attached himself to her as her protector. It is troubling and something I do not wish for my own D6. The OW does not have a father, issues. I do not know her, but my mom has interacted with her at her work.
Regarding the Beach: I find the water extremely therapeutic. The waves come no matter what. The sound drowns out everything bad. The massiveness seems to shrink my problems. Plus, it is fun for the kids.
Regarding Looking Hot: Yeah, me too. I am meeting my goal weight and walking tall. I love my age and my life. He can choose to be miserable. I choose Bridget Jones.
