I am sorry. You were totally right to want to say hello to someone who has been family to you. I hate to say it but how many more chances to we get to be together with our elders. each time is precious, right? I went through a similar sicth this summer with my ILs coming but they were on egg shells too. My H could not care less if I was there or not. His mom yelled at him for not including me in family plans. Who knows how to dismantle an entire life and family? Sometimes I dread people are only being nice to me just to get at my kids. After my parents' divorce my Grandmother was only kind and faithful to my mother, the first wife. This was hard on my father's two prospective wives later. I thought it was old fashioned that the ILs stay faithful to the First Wife. You know the OP probably think that and will always be jealous of us!
