Gineen, these exchanges yesterday with exMIL were a surprise. Certainly not something that occurs regularly. Other than asking for her forgiveness early last month, I haven't communicated with her in about 2 and a half years. I believe that I'm attempting to accomplish some closure...she did contact me first BTW. She sent me some Bible verses out of the clear blue. I don't need to hear "I'm right" from her. I was wrong many times in my marriage. I owned that. I am the only one who has been truthful and honest with everyone (kids, my parents, and her parents) regarding my wrongdoings...and I've done that from day 1. She hasn't been honest and truthful with anyone regarding her actions to this day! The truth hurts, even though blood is thicker than water...I'm glad that they now know the whole truth instead of just part of it. I don't much care if exW gets angry about the whole truth finally being told.
If it provides me with some closure, and helps me with some unresolved issues and feelings, then it's OK. More than anything else at this point, I want to be more highly focused and moving forward in a positive way. I so want to let go of a painful past, and the betrayal and disappointment.
I appreciate your input too.
