Hello SO2, I've just left you a post on your thread.
My life carries on apace....new relationship is going slow but steadily upwards, W is going from bitter to downright rude, all expected.
All I feel now is a very deep sadness that this had to happen, it wasn't necessary or required to livce happily in my eyes. However, I am happy now, my boys are adjusting well and W is floudering. Ho hum.
I haven't spoked to MIL for 2 weeks now, I honestly don't think I can sit there and hear her tell me how bad I am and how wonderful W is depsite her illness. I just don't have it in me.
In a while, I will contact her again, if she wants to talk, then great, if not, then it will only add to my sadness about what has happened.
I think I will probably send her a heartfelt letter and card explaining things, then I wonder whether this will upset or anger her, I am really not sure what road to take.
