MLC? Maybe you can tell me...

KarenHC, as Jeep74 says, this is just sucktastic...the MIL, the joint spending on dates...here's something to chew on, feel free to ignore, but your post has been bugging me all day, as I don't know what I'm going to say to my own FIL when he finds out. It'll be something along these lines, as he will certainly side with his daughter.

Dear MIL,

Thank you for your email. I hope that you understand that it is difficult for me to find the right words to respond to you. I'm not surprised that the girls seemed down when they visited you, as this has been a very difficult time for them, so thank you for your concern and support of them.

Yes, I understand that you are supporting your son and I hope that you can help him. While I wish it wasn't the case, my current relationship with H complicates my relationship with you. We will always be connected through the children and you are a wonderful grandmother, but I'm not sure a visit to your sisters is the right thing for me right now.

Sincerely,

KarenHC
