Interesting observation (and I won't do any mind reading about it...): My MIL (who is herself divorced since my H was very young) reached out to me today (Father's Day) to talk for the first time since my H left me almost 8 months ago. The conversation was about my D3, and was just like it used to be between us. I've missed talking to her like that very much. I think I did a great job of keeping the conversation positive and I did not bring up my H or MR at all.
I just thought it was interesting that my MIL would reach out to me today, after not doing so in so long, on a day when her son is spending Father's Day with her WAH.
