Been to in laws today. Had a lovely time. They yet again voiced their disgust with the STBXW and that they were sorry she'd done this. It was great to chat with her Dad about random stuff, and I left with 24 new farm eggs and a pheasant for the freezer It's really touching that they genuinely care about me, and were very insistent about me visiting again. Saw the surrogate MIL as well, and she seems even more sure that all is not rosy in the world of STBXW and OM. Apparently STBXW has been feeling 'wretched' although not sure why. Hoping it's to do with some kind of guilt over her behaviour. She's still to return the pearls she borrowed for our wedding to the sMIL, and sMIL is getting increasingly vexed with her avoidance. The sMIL's husband is also disgusted with STBXW behaviour.
I left a letter with the FIL stating that I expected her to return the £1k she owes me promptly, or I will be forced to pursue this via small claims court. I've waited 2 months, no more Mr Nice Guy. It will not look good on the record of an accountant having a small claims court judgement against. My solicitor informed me I shouldn't have any trouble with such a claim. I'm happy to let her go on with filing - means she's paying the £1500 to have it done and I don't get slammed with the solicitors fees.
The OM is starting to play nasty at work - is plotting with one of his small group of cronies to have me removed from the rotation - obviously quite stupid as I'm due to rotate to another hospital in 3 months time anyway. And neither him, nor the cronie have ANY control over what my bosses decide to do with hiring and firing people. Apparently he's trying to persuade people that I'm some kind of ogre at work. I can imagine that isn't going down very well. So the pressure there must be coming to bear too.
Consequences are upon them both I think. The sMIL is sure that the end for their relationship is nigh.
Shame I now feel it's actually to late for her to do anything to save our relationship.
Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
