Hi, bustin,

Regarding what your M should or shouldn't say, my advice is to let her decide what she wants to say. Stay out of it. If he wants to continue the R he has with her, great. But, it is no longer for you to get in the middle of.

I had a similar sitch where my H reaches out from time to time to talk to my SIL (my brother's wife) who is probably my biggest confidante. I have mixed emotions about them talking, but realize it is not for me to decide what kind of R they have now. It is not within my control, nor should it be.

Just my 2 cents.

BTW, I love your new attitude about wanting your kids to have the best possible R with their dad they can. I agree that is very important too.
