Absolutely, Amy. I didn't actually intend on speaking with her mother. I was irritated with my W's intentionally hurtful words. My W actually responded to my e-mail and said that her mother talked that smack about me in confidence and that me talking with her mother about it would cause problems for my W breaking her mother's confidence. My W still doesn't know that I did & do NOT intend on talking with her mother about what she supposedly said about me. To top it all off, I have been told by my MIL herself and those close to my MIL that she (my MIL) knows that I am a wonderful father to my children.
Regardless, it is what it is and I am where I am. Also, my W is where she is. All will be fine going forward, but the waters are still VERY choppy and scary in my life. I don't intend on making them more choppy and I do now see that pinning my W and/or MIL down on their lies or ill feelings serves no good purpose. Another cheeseless tunnel. Ugh.
Thanks for chiming in Amy. As usual, you right my ship.
