Thanks GAG for following along. Your support is wonderful!
I felt my situation was finally starting to see some positive change. However, now that MIL has weighed in I'm sure she will be encouraging H to move on with the settlement and divorce.
MIL told me H's relationship with ow caused him no pressure and that's exactly what he needs right now. ( I have taken this message on board). I did laugh at that comment though because....it's not exactly what he needs or otherwise he wouldn't be talking/helping me! Whatever!! Beatrice is right. MIL doesn't deserve the headspace. I think I need to write a response and just not send it. It will help me clear my head.
