I am happy to hear things are going well for you and H smile Nice to have him reconnect with a stable friend, huh? I know the feeling.

I also know the feeling of anger towards MIL. There is no doubt in my mind that S and I are paying the price of her mothering. She used to give me parenting advice when I would not ask for it. She would email me articles about "coddling" my child. Would warn me to not make son the center of my attention.... Ugh, her 3 children are so lost and all searching to fill a void! I have fantasized many times about telling her off! Instead I have just firmly let her know I am not in need of her advice and have left it at that.

MIL will be in your life forever because of your children so best to keep the peace. Just like Job said, it's your H place to address issues if needed.

I know the feeling to want to tell her, this is happening because of you!!

Keep up the good work with H smile
