I just went down to the mailbox because I had a feeling there was something for me in there, and sitting there's a card from my XMIL. Who hasn't contacted me in over 6 months. Addressed to me with my XH's last name as my last name (which it never was, legally, and definitely isn't now as we're D, plus is extremely painful for me to see).
So, I open it and it's dated the day after the event when XH saw me with the NG.
Basically, she repeated exactly what she said in her last e-mail to me 6 months ago, which I replied to kindly then. She's sorry if it seems like she doesn't care about losing me. She's very emotional and can't talk to me without crying (so I guess I'm meant to infer that's why she hasn't), but that she has cried over it. She can't live her son's life for him, but she truly is sorry and has lovely memories of me. She hopes I'm doing well.
WTH? I don't understand, cause she already told me all that stuff. And it just hurts to have to hear it all again, and see my name like that. I'm going to go take a run, burn these tears off, and then get ready for my date tonight.
