Thanks OC and Upside... I'm doing better. One positive about this journey is that we do learn to bounce back very quickly after we've been knocked down.
I do understand that I am not a part of the family - I just wish my MIL and SIL would not have said all the things they did about me always being part of the family if they could not follow through with it. It's over and there's no point in wondering whose idea it was. From now on, I know not to assume ANYTHING, especially with regards to H's family. Time for me to detach a little from them too. In my own family, I'm notorious for being overly-sensitive, so that doesn't help.
Upside: Thank you for reminding me about the importance of my R with H, no matter what. I needed that. There are so many people lately telling me that I'm being too nice to H. Maybe I do have too much compassion, empathy and understanding though. Borderline doormat?
OC: Tried calling you before just to chat, but no answer. We'll catch up soon. There's a slight possibility my parents will be moving close to you!
Back to focusing on me and figuring out some things about myself. I still need to come up with that list. But it'll have to wait till after the move.
