waiting for the tides to change

[BFloat]

So that an awkward visit. MIL came and brought dinner. we had something to eat. she played w/ the kids for a bit.. and then she left! about 2 hours later.

when she first came.. i asked her how my FIL took the news (referring to her move to WI). she said he is not very happy at all. apparently there was miscommunication because she thought i meant the news about H and i. he is upset about us but fine with her move.

anyway.. she was saying we were welcome to go stay with her anytime. and that her friend? bf? (not really sure what to call him) wanted to help pay for tickets for myself and the kids.. she wants to stay a couple of nights with us when she comes back to visit in june.. i'm not sure what to think about all this.

when she was leaving.. i got teary. i had to leave the room. i use to see her all the time but over the past few years.. have seen her less and less (because of her strained relationship w/ H). it made me sad to think that she would no longer be just a car ride away. i think it's also making me think that slowly.. ties are being cut from H and his family.

still blah. more teary too.
