Just following along as I always have here ... and yes I agree she is really spinning at the moment and its impossible to figure out what has set this in motion. Reading along about her missing 2 birthdays and Xmas followed by a "my bad" ... seriously? Yes she is scratching the surface but in a way only a MLCr can pull off they minimize what they have done with the half ass "I'm sorry/my bad" or they just do not remember/acknowledge it at all, but we all know this so its easier to stay in control and not lash out. I do like the fact you seized the opportunity to truth dart her in spots and ignored others that you deemed trivial.
I agree, she will bake on this some more and pop out again in a couple months .. or she may ramp up a bit more as she is not getting the attention she is seeking from you or the daughters.
