mk, I don't know if I think its pathetic that you are too busy to date. I think it shows that you are out there doing so much for yourself and for your family.
I'm sorry about your inlaws. I think its hard to let go of inlaws, especially for those of us who are lucky enough to actually like out inlaws.
I know I am having a horrible time letting my MIL go. don't get me wrong, I know I don't have to let her go completely. but H is her only child, if she wants to maintain a relationship with him, she's going to have to let ow into her life sooner or later. and that will be easier to do if I back off a bit. I know it will be easier for her.
this whole thing has been very hard on her. she has had to start take medication because of it, and has gone into therapy on her own for it. she has overwhelming guilt about what she did to mess up her son so much that he is acting like this. not only that, but she is so upset because of course the kids are affected.
so my goal is to stop calling her, except about stuff about the kids. but even that I need to stop, and take it more to e-mail. I just think it will be easier on her that way.
