It is nice. It's just a xmas card but it's nice them remembered me to be honest. Especially when I was convinced they didn't want anything to do with me.

LOL .. cutter you read my mind. That was going to be my next post although I was already pretty set on the 'lets not talk about W' and I certainly wasn't going to ask about her. If MIL brought her innoccously within a conversation, I was going to act casual and ignore it.

I have to remember that everything I say to MIL will go straight back to W. EVERYTHING. So when W asks MIL what I said about her, MIL can safely say 'nothing'. A 180. A slam dunk. It will make me feel good.

I now have to ask myself, do I think that MIL / FIL having a relationship with D is okay (ie. 'Hope to see you in 2010' on the card they sent her)? I am still undecided. As they didn't contact me since W left and have never asked anything about D, coupled with I believe they fully agree and support W's decision to leave and they facilitated it, I can't make my mind up. I do feel however that if I stop contact with them it will be to punish them and not for the good of D.

Not sure. Will need to mull it over so I'm not doing it purely on emotions. Opinions?
