Thanks Train and thanks AGAIN Strasky. I will echo Train's sentiments, I really hope that things take a positive turn with your in-laws!
So my next challenge is H's b-day is next weekend. I'm trying to decide what to do. For Father's day I wrote him card, essentially thanking him for being a good Dad (very true). I was thinking of doing similar for his b-day. Here's what I came up with. Getting it out there now so I have plenty of time to edit. It's very brief but about what I could handle with complete sincerity right now. I believe his LL is words of affirmation so I think this will be the most meaningful gift I could give. Any feedback, always much appreciated!
"Dear H, Happy birthday! You are a special man whose infectious smile always brings joy to all those around. I wish you all the very best on this special day. Love, MDU"
