I managed to shake off my sadness about D3 crying for Daddy this morning, the truth is that this sort of thing happened before the separation as well and is just part of our lives. Happily I can still make her feel better.
So my MIL is flying in from out of state around Halloween and she and I are going to take the girls on a long planned trip to Disneyland. H has not spoken to his Mom since BD and they just have brief texts with each other. He is well aware that she is not happy with this situation (its one of the things about all this that is so hard to believe - they were always so close). I'm sure she would like to see him, but I think she's looking to me to set the tone.
I was going to send H her itinerary, say that I'm sure the girls would love to see him and Grandma together, I would be amenable to anything that he wants to do and that he should contact his Mom directly. Likewise, I was going to tell her to contact him directly about seeing each other while she is here.
Any other thoughts on how to handle? It feels painfully awkward. That being said - it will be delightful to get away with her and the girls and have fun.
