You continue to do well in your sitch. I know it's hard.... traveling the high road is a life choice that extends past our M, Past our D.. it will forever be a constant decision we make in regards to our x's.
It's interesting... when we chose to take the high road in our sitch - I don't think we realized how life changing it can be. I don't think we understood that us choosing love in difficult times would influence our relationships with others around us.
I remember there was a time when you and DIL didn't have much a relationship... but you were kind, patient, and compassionate. You created a safe place and well here she is....
Yes... it probably does come at the expense of you heart because it is slowing down the detachment process....
... but can you see yourself handling life any other way now? Can you think of another way to receive love other than by showing it first?

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
