I have made up my mind on how to proceed with the ILs. My W's behavior doesn't have to influence how I treat the ILs. I will continue to be the best person I can be to everybody including the ILs.
No, the ILs are not bad mouthing me to the kids, at least not that I know of. I definitely want the kids to adore their grandparents. They are going to visit my W soon from out of town. It will be a treat to see how they get around the town in the back seat of her Altima coupe!
Life is great now that I have dropped the rope! I am constantly making plans for GAL. Bar and drinking are no-no for me. There is temptation to go out and mingle, but I have been resisting the temptation to date. I am not sure if it is appropriate or not yet. But I am looking for new friends, support groups and activities that involve new friends.
I just ordered Peter O'Connors book on MLC from half.com I have seen so many people on this BB refer to this out-of-print book. I feel my quest for understanding MLC has not ended and I want to have a better appreciation for the crisis that changed my life for better.
