Thanks for the words of encouragement, BL42.

I have some questions I think already have the answers to. But hell, I've been ruminating on them for several weeks and might as well externalize them.

How should I handle communication with the in-laws? We don't chat regularly, but we do follow each other on social media. I know they are still looking at my updates. I'm wondering in particular about whether I should say goodbye to them (especially my MIL) and then unfollow them. Maybe it's premature for that? Do I just not engage with their posts? We usually send holiday and New Year's messages to each other. Feels weird to say nothing. I don't know what H has told them, or if he has said anything at all. I don't know if he will visit them for the holidays.

Not so deep down, do I have an ulterior motive? Absolutely. Not to be a tattle-tale, exactly, but I *am* worried about H, and want to express my concerns to MIL. Is this controlling behavior? Yes, I have a feeling it is...
