Maybe not too complicated to understand

Just a quick update to earlier post: W spoke to my MIL apparently and told her that I am kicking her out after the holidays and then I'm going to counter-sue her for abandonment and keep the kids from her.

Maybe MIL was in a hurry so she didn't have time to go through the real details. She is obviously going to be hell-bent on making me look like the bad guy here. I guess it's to be expected. Or maybe, like everything else in these past 3 months, she's just not listening to me.

She's still walking around very angry and looking dejected. Daddy took her toy away or something. Sometimes I just want to say "Go ahead, go. Do what you feel you need to do."

Wait, I already did. The only difference is that I told her she needed to accept responsibility for her actions. It's called accountability. I don't want her to hurt or to feel trapped. I want her to listen to reason - to do something more than surface repair. "Okay, so I'm lazy. What's really bothering you?"

(and I'm not really THAT lazy...)
