A question too. My MIL contacted me yesterday and wants to come over tonight. She wants to drop something off for my son. It will be a very quick visit - she's on her way somewhere else - but I want to be ready to handle any awkwardness well and with kindness and dignity should it crop up. I also am not inclined to get into my private business with her and I don't think that's appropriate. And I feel vulnerable because I have no idea what H has told her about me.
Tryhard offered good advice on this. I would just add this- do not get drawn into R talks with her. If she asks anything about the R then just say you are both taking time and space to work on yourselves and use that as a segue to tell her how awesome you are doing. One thing to keep in mind with in-laws is ANYTHING you saw WILL get back to your spouse. So you want to telegraph nothing but positive vibes. You're moving on, you're happy, you're focused on yourself. You want MIL going back to him and saying "I saw Alison today and WOW she is doing great!"
