Good song B. I'm glad you talked to your ILs. M FIL called me earlier in the week to make sure I would be at the family's Christmas. He told me there aren't many people he likes but he likes me. I actually thought he would be taking sides w/ H because he did that once before we were married. He only knew his side and believed it all. I guess after the time and love we have invested, our ILs realize that we deserve their love and support.
My H was sick too. I have read that on many of threads. I think the stress of Christmas is harder on the WAS than it is on us. Probably much harder than they expected too.
