Finding my way 2

[tpaschal]

I just re-read my previous post, and think it sounds a little harsh or uncaring towards MIL, which wasn't my intention.

Guess I should have added a disclaimer---the reason I feel so strongly about this is because I did NOT go to the funeral of a good friend's father because I knew OW would be there, and I didn't want to cause any problems or discomfort for the grieving family.

However, I now regret not going, and wish that I had been there for my friend.

I do appreciate that you love your MIL and are trying to respect her wishes, but I think that whatever unfolds between your STBX and his parents isn't up to you. Let STBX's and IL's issues be just that---THEIR issues.

I guess the best thing you can do is to prayerfully consider what course of action to take regarding what you need to do for YOU and for your friends so that you won't have regrets later.
