1. Just talked to MIL and she completely gets it. Brief discussion "I cracked, lots of stress, sorry to burden you and I feel bad that W and I agreed not to share and I did. Please help by staying clear and by praying." She may still approach W at some point over next couple weeks based on how distant she has become to W, but she will do the "you have been so distant last few months, is everything ok?" and just see where it goes, but she knows not to talk more, and I trust her.
2. W texted me this morning that she went running at 7 AM by herself and how beautiful the view was, the area (which she wants to move to is) and more details. I believe she is telling me the truth and that is a huge relief (no class at tat-boy's gym). I know, I know, believe nothing they say, but she gave me enough details that I believe her, plus we did 6-8 texts after that and they were good. Very excited.
