Got here late... but I'm here now.

You have a good point there. Other than her D, MIL has no one. At the AP, MIL positioned herself so that she was well in front of me as they came through customs. Of course it was right in the middle of the crowd trying to get through but as usual she was oblivious. I stood off to the side so that people could get through then greeted my girls.

I am sure she is coaching W every step of the way. W knows she needs the support. In March they had a huge fight and didn't speak for 2-3 weeks. It was me that got them speaking again. Now I get this ____. They have always had a touchy relationship. My W has blown up at her several times in the past 2-3 years and MIL has stormed off in tears. It was always me that ran after her to get her to stay and talk.
