Oh Katie dear! It is good to hear of your move. I just knew your mother-in-law gave the comment you made nary a thought. She clearly loved you. Also good for you remembering that the relationship that your ex has are between him and his family members and that includes your kids.
I know I had a moment of stress where I broke down and cried. Not about the marriage but just the weight of raising the kids alone, no alone time etc. I am so blessed for what I have and for where I am now. So it took three years, better than a lifetime.
Big hugs hon, kat
