Thanks for the tips about MILs. I will have a good look over your thread asap and see how you managed to deal with her. It sounds like you have a good strategy in treating MIL like a bad business etc. I have blocked MIL's phone number after her latest nasty messages and an attempt to call me up, which no doubt would have consisted of a stream of abuse aimed in my direction. W even agrees she is messing about. In the foreseeable future I plan to keep any exchanges with MIL down to the bare minimum - preferably none.
Ontheup,
I know you're right. It is so difficult. I guess it is going to take time. I've read again and again of people who just need time to fully let go of their S. Not having child sharing arrangements in place until this week has aggravated that. I believe I am taking decent steps to move on with things (see my GAL list above) but of course my posts here are weighted towards my sitch as ultimately I am here to save my marriage - however dire the sitch seems right now.
