BTW, to broach a different topic for once, does anybody have any advice about how to handle the sitch with my in-laws?
I do love them very much and wish that I could still be in their lives, but I'm generally feeling like it's not appropriate at the moment. My W has been throwing my lack of involvement with them in my face, but I'm thinking that she's talking out of her butt because then she turns around and tells me to leave them alone.
I'd love to hear how other people have handled this conundrum. I sent them that "how-I'm-doing" e-mail not too long ago, but I'm not sure that it's enough. They were a second family to me for years, after all. I'd love to communicate just how much I appreciate all that they've done.
I hate to think that the last time that I'll ever see them again happened three months ago.
