Had a long, wonderful talk with stbx-MIL. Brought her up to speed on the D discussions, what I am proposing and WHY. She is awesome, my stbx-MIL, just awesome.
She said they ALL know I have been wonderful to W, and what I am proposing she agrees with, and is very thankful I am still thinking of and through everything and caring towards W's well being. That I am always going to be part of the family, they are there for the kids and me as well. She thanked me for standing as long as I did, and that they all know it is not me, and that there is nothing I can do.
She also agrees that I should have full custody right now, W is not in a place to deal with 50/50, school, etc.
Talk about validation....
I assured her that unlimited access (with pre-notification) to the boys will be written into the decree, that I am not going to try to keep the boys from their mother, Mom's are too important to young (and old) men...
And she said W has a mess in her head still. MIL wishes W would go back on meds and get REAL therapy...
I am really getting excited about my new life that is unfolding...
