Today is a pretty tough day.

I had to e-mail MIL regarding tax preparation for this year (she used to do our taxes). I informed her that we are filing separately and I will use my own tax preparer.

What hurts is that she replied that she misses me, but hopes "this gets settled soon." This is also the same woman who gave W money for "her half of the divorce."

I know I shouldn't let this bother me, but it does. I feel like I am also losing a family as I got along great with the in-laws. I feel like they are giving me mixed messages as they stated before they are pro-marriage and will stay out of the mess, but then give her full support to end it and say that they miss me.

I guess I can't blame them for loving her and supporting her, but it still hurts to lose them as a family.
