Beatrice, thanks for chiming in! I admire your directness. I laughed when I read it!

MIL has always prided herself on being a friend and support. She seems to think that she can spew at me and then jump back on the friendship wagon. I figure that she is now firmly MIL status and as I am no longer married I no longer need a MIL.

Thanks too for your thoughts on whether to mention this to H. I don't think I will have to cos I think MIL will do this for me and anyway as Sanderika has said, she has probably already sewn the seeds. He has been out of contact. He also had a falling out with D and withdrew his offer to take her to her activity as arranged. Of course, just before she was due to leave with her new taxi driver (Guess who?!) H texts to see if she needs a lift. Predictable!

Off now to google some MIL jokes!!
