Oh, I think it is OK. The Ex-in-law Rs are something Donna is working on too, which is really why I focused on that in your HM's post.
Donna, I know you are also still dealing with distance from the EX-in-laws, I think largely for similar reasons. On the bright shiny side, the Thanksgiving invite and their disappointment sounds like you really are making space now for friendship. (But they'll still always be B-list friends...)
