You know count the few blessings, that your MIL even wants to talk with you and stay at your house... My MIL is similar to yours but my in-laws haven't reached out not even ONCE to me... my MIL told me not to contact her anymore on this subject her emotions can't handle it. So my nephews, brother in law, sister in law and MIL I will probably never talk to again. it is AMAZING but it just defines and confirms why my H is doing the same thing as my IC tells me... MIL is detaching and shoving feelings down just like my H ... that is where he learned it from. No one in his family talks about anything to him... to Silver Fox point.. how hard is it to just say... " you really need to do everything to save your marriage before you jump into another relationship - you have kids"
But we can only control our actions and not those of others... You are a strong person to be able to talk with MIL and comfort her.. crazy!!!
Sounds like you have a good handle with how you want to handle this so keep up the PMA and GAL'ing...
