So last night as I'm talking to my Ds, my oldest tells me that she told her grandmother (MIL) that she wished her mommy would come home. My MIL tells her that mommy is never coming home.

Needless to say I was pissed. After I talked to the kids, I talked to my W and told her what happened. I told her that our sitch was just between she and I and her mom shouldn't be saying things like that to discourage the kids. I told her that I didn't know if her mom had something against me and related to her what happened earlier in the day about her mom ignoring me.

I kept asking her how she felt about it and I kept getting the same response "I don't know". I asked her how she felt about our sitch and she said "I don't know."

I told her that she must feel something. I asked her if there was anything I've done that had gotten her upset. She said 'no'. I then told her that she has to start opening up to me about something, anything in order for us not to make the same mistakes and better our communication with each other. And that if there were times that I said or did something that got her upset, I need to know or else it's going to keep being repeated. She agreed.

I told her that I cared and always cared about her thoughts and opinions. And that she just needed to tell me what those were. I mean we get along great. She's just not "in love".

I guess I'm getting pissed at how enabling my ILs are. I'm tempted to call my MIL myself and set her straight. That I'm not going anywhere so she might as well get used to it.
