I think I mentioned that a couple of weeks ago we went to my nephew's (W's side) b-day party. My W's entire family ignored me. My MIL's live in BF of 12 years went so far as to be rude.
I've been conflicted about it, because on one hand, I don't want to allow them to control what I think I should do, but on the other, I don't know why I should subject myself to that.
I was talking to W yesterday and she said she got our niece's bday present for this weekend, but she was just going to drop it off and not go to the party this time because of how they treated me. This is really a 180 for her....normally she'd just take the kids and leave me. So this is immensely positive in my mind.
So I guess to that point, maybe I haven't given the current state enough time....patience.
