Hi Snodderly, Thank you so much for your wonderful support and validation! Well you were right.. I had such a great time with my in Laws I do feel they love me lots and I them.
Mum In Law was just lovely! She is 95 now,but has all her marbles, despite Parkinson's.
We chatted ,and she was so pleased to see me.She goes from being happy to sudden sadness,for instance saying.."It is as well your Mum is dead as it would have broken her heart what happened." I know she grieves over the split, and S i L says she just cannot understand why it happened.. Mum says H talks highly of me,and is so glad I am getting on so well.She asked if I was still "stressed" . I said not that but still grieving the relationship, but getting on in my life.
She knows of ,and approves of NG, as do my S and B in law.
Tho I explained we were not "serious", keeping it light etc, they have extended a very determined, and cordial invitation to us both to visit, stay and walk in the lovely Lake District! So it all went well!
The Tribunal was very taxing one, on a mistaken point of the law, but the other two members were just great guys and I know one from before,he is just so clear and laid back! We worked so well as a team and got the thing sorted to everyone's satisfaction! I left on a total high, and that has continued!
In laws and I got on well! They loved seeing me so cheerful and well looking! We were just laughing and chatting the whole time. I been walking and chilling with NG too, last two days.Total mad fun in the rain and rivers and bogs!
A bit sad as will not see him this weekend. I have my 60 th B'day with the boys and their G/Fs and NG has his bro's B'day too. He is taking me out to celebrate next Friday ,when he comes through for the weekend.
Did I say that oldest S has said very clearly he would like to meet NG and younger son said so too. So has close friend, keeps trying to invite him.
I am leaving all that just now, as a bit heavy.It does not feel like meet the family time yet, but it will come if we are still seeing each other, in good time.
I will visit my other B and S in law soon, they also are lovely, but completely different. They have never forgiven H for his lies and forcing OW on to Mum and blaming her for asking to meet. Plus there are a few sibling issues from the past making it heavy. They are all for me however, as we have always got on well. So I am feeling very family centred and cared for at present, while knowing H and OW do not have that happiness. I feel very blessed.
Oh! I nearly forgot, I got a birthday card from H, a funny one, with" love from H" and 4 kisses.
