When the bubble bursts in our favor !

[Cinderellaman]

Today I went to pick up D7 and D9 at my inlaw's. My MIL was SOOOO sweet ! She did the whole Christmas dinner all over again, just for me ! I couldn't believe it ! They even gave me an envelope with plenty of money to have myself a nice pampering weekend ! I couldn't believe it.

FIL, told me with great sadness in his voice that I should move on, and live my life, as he feels his son is lost...and will probably not 'wake up' any time soon. He said that he can't see anything remotely sexy or attractive in the ow, but that she is sweet with my kids and that the kids seem to like her a lot too. He said he couldn't be sure if she was just 'faking' it though, but that the kids seemed to like her and that that is at least a comfort to us all.
MIL then said that she still has a 'feeling' H will 'wake up', but that first this whole 'ow' thing must end and be done with, and that after that, we will have a long road to go on, as she says I have 'found' myself again and H will have to change a lot to 'fit' into my life again.

It's been tough on them too, I know that. It's tough to HAVE to accept your son's choices, just because he is your son. It's good that they are doing so, I don't think it would matter in the long run as I feel that MLC needs to run it's course NO MATTER how we stand aside..

Friday after H dropped S5 back home, at 9.30pm, I got a TM at around 11.30pm saying 'I have been looking through the foto albums you gave me, BEAUTIFUL ! What a fantastic present, thanks again, H.' I was upset by him sending me that TM. Not because he liked his present but because sometimes when they mean to be kind, it hurts so much more. I didn't answer. I couldn't and figured it was not needed. I'm doing well with little contact. It makes life easier.

Today I brought home a friend of D9's who lives close to my Inlaw's, her parents are H's age and grew up with him. Her grandparents are my inlaw's best friends'. The girl 11 will be staying for 2 nights and I'm looking forward to some girly giggles !

Take care and much love,
