W packed some fruits and specifically told me to hand it over only to my father. My father is the only she respects. I thanked her. Later, I thought to myself why would i want to do that. Why would i want to help her 'punish' the rest of my family. I don't want to be her accomplice so i refuse to take the fruits home. If she wants to behave this way then i won't help her.
Just before leaving, MIL asked about the day W and I went out together. Apparently, W did not tell her parents about the court hearing. I sat down with MIL explaining things to her. She went on and on about what my family and I did to her daughter. W gave her version and made herself into an angel. MIL just bite into everything W has to say. I validated MIL's feelings and at the same time had to bite my own tongue. It's hard to do when you can't share your own version of the events. I told MIL we have to let W go on her own journey and i can't undo past events. She doesn't believe that we could reconcile. She's worried about my kids growing up in a broken family and started to cry. I held her hand and comforted her. It's a pity W's parents can't speak to her without risking a tantrum from W. I have to juggle her family as well?
