As for your MIL, I would limit my contact w/her. She may be fishing for info and then again maybe not...but whatever the reason...limit the contact and when she asks for help again w/a pet, refer her to someone else or another web page on the interest...but get yourself out of the loop w/her for the time being. I know you want to help..but right now, the only person that needs your assistance is you. Could your MIL be trying to connect w/you because of what she has on FB? Maybe she wants to fish to see if you've seen her postings. Whatever the reason, distance yourself from her as much as possible. Blood is thicker than water.
My MIL doesn't post things on FB... Its a struggle for her.
My H posted all the pictures that were taken... tagged her so it showed up on her wall... tagged OW and her adult kids.
I didn't wish him happy bday.
He posted all this at 1am the day after his bday. I'm sure he checked to see if I was still friends on FB with his mother... THANK GOODNESS... that didn't show up in my feed. I only found it accidentally. I have make 100% point of NOT checking his or OW FB accounts... I stay clear.
I have no way of knowing if he checks out my FB. I'm private but will from time to time make things public. Not that I'm trying to play games but if he looks he needs to know I have a life. I may only make one public post every 2 weeks or so... so there is very little to glean from FB.
I know I am WAY over analyzing... All this means is that he is going on with his life. At the very least his mother threw the Bday party and it wasn't OW doing it.
UGH... hanging head... I'm putting to much of my time into him... he isn't even wasting a single breath on me.
