Sometimes it seems like the priest/pastor is speaking just to us, huh? Accepting others as they are and not passing judgment on their choices is an important part of this process I believe.
IMO, I wouldn't ask to see stepson tmrw. That would put your MIL in an awkward position and it's nice that she reached out to you with the letter. If she feels stuck in the middle, she may be less likely to communicate with you.
