You are just nailing interview after interview! That must be sending your PMA sky-high - nicely done!
Keep those pats on the back coming, as this is a great form of self-love.
I wouldn't worry too much about your father's comment about whether you and H will reconcile. He's not one of the two key people involved in your sitch - it's all about you and H. The rest of the players are just background. Its likely your dad is just being protective, not wishing more hurt for you and trusting this SIL about as far as he can throw him now.
Hon, you have me feeding off your positive energy. Great post!
