Really quick because I have to hit the road for the office - but what do you think if I wait till all of this is over to respond to XMIL? And do so kindly? I really do not care to open a dialogue with her on the matter right now as it is between XW and me - and I have made my intentions clear to XW. If XMIL's relationship with me that she was trying to maintain is genuine and not self-serving (meaning stay kind to get things when she wants them) she will understand.
