We are not legally seperated. I have a lwyer and have all kinds of legal things done that protect me. She is very dysfunctional, her behavior yesterday was pinnacle for the kids and her own mother. My MIL talked to me over coffee this morning before she left for the airport. she couldn't believe it. She was floored. But she told me that she had talked to her cousin, the psychiatrist when she went to the Cape on firday. She said I am doing what needs to be done for now. She told MIL to tellme, don't rush, don't rush, don't rush....

MIL said she can't believe how well I am doing, how great the house looks, how great I look how everything is, thanked me for the weekend many times. She said W was looking at me all day yesterday and last night whle the 3 of us were watching the movie. I said, it hurt me that she never even thanked me for the weekend. Never said boo to me. MIL said it seemed to her that W had tried to get a conversation going a couple of times, and each time the conversation came down to MIL and me, and she was left outside looking in. Mil said she would be very surprised if W wasn't really thinking about you and her this weekend. Told her I had heard all of that before, nothing. I won't see or talk to her again, in any significant form until the end of April at Grandson's b'day. She said it is sad and it hurt her a lot to see it. she cried herself to sleep last night.
