In the past six months when I would leave town I would find myself thinking about W and wondering what she is doing and lamenting the fact that I didn't have anyone at home to call and talk about what was going on at home, what was going on where I was, and other normal conversations with a spouse when you leave town.This weekend was different - I really didn't think about her much. We had a lot of fun. I wasn't looking forward to seeing her when I got home. Good for you. Detachment.
MIL came over and had a long talk with her Friday. apparently it was very emotional and she told W many things about what she SHOULD be doing abotu her M. It was the kind of stuff that WAW typically doesn't listen to - she needs to cut off contact withOM, she needs to try working on her M, etc etc. Seems like you got a real good MIL. My mother has been reaching out to her as well - wants W to see her psychiatrist. And Mother. Good luck.
