I'd drop all this armchair diagnosis and speculation about the future.

Often, after the dust settles, family sticks with family. There are definitely exceptions--just don't get your long-term hopes up too high based on your sister-in-law's feelings today. Those feelings often change.

I like "It's between your mom and I", because it keeps the kids away from the drama and picking sides. I'm 11yrs out and past any fantasy of telling my kids all the wrongs their mom did. Their mom isn't that person anymore. If they ever ask I'll be as delicate as possible because I want them to have a good relationship with each of us.
