MIL taken into a hopsice today...too frail to even move herself now. Seems like there is not long left. W called me to tell me. She was understandably upset and was crying. I felt nothing for her. I am upset for my boys losing their Grandma and for MIL being terminally ill, but have no feelings for W. I guess I have truly 'moved on'. I am sorry for anyone's loss, but I felt bad at first for not feeling upset that W was crying. That was until I realised it was her that put herself into that position with me. She wasn't there for me when I was upset.
What goes around comes around.
My life is at the moment, great in most parts, but messed up in the other. I just want MIL's suffering and funeral over as soon possible and then interactions between W and I will be reduced to virtually nil again. (Which is better) I have to meet up with her before the funeral though as I need to tell her that I am over everything and accepting of her new life if that's what she wants and she can stop preteneding it's not happening. I need to do this whilst she can talk quietly and NOT on the worst day possible.
Thanks for bearing with me over the last few months everyone.
I know mine hasn't been a particularly happy ending, but I am living proof that we can mend ourselves and that there IS life after the breakdown of a marriage, even a long one.
