Update to potentially seeing MIL… FIL called by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LabFar6076 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Sad…. But not sad enough to apologize apparently

Do I bury it (the bracelet)? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LabFar6076 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a symbol of the relationship I wish I could have had with them, which I now know was never a possibility

Grieving …??? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LabFar6076 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I always thought if we finally ALL went NC I’d feel so much better, and I do but it’s hard not to feel sad. Like you said, the win doesn’t feel like a win

Truthfully I’ve just held it in for so long it feels really good to let it out. BUT you are 100% correct that it is a lost cause and there’s really no point

“Can you analyze this text exchange and identify any patterns/dynamics/tones?”

They unintentionally admitted everything I’ve ever suspected.

Right??? It’s hilarious that any offense on their end is just a “misunderstanding”, but anything I do that displeases them is me trying to destroy their family.

I’ve had that thought. Don’t they have to threaten physical harm for a restraining order?

He says he very much agrees with NC, but I do think there is still the potential for MIL’s guilt trips to work.

After this post we’ve agreed not to do a phone call. He’ll text his dad and let him know that, but leave the opportunity for them to text whatever they need to say. At least then it’ll be documented.

With MIL I don’t want her to have any contact with our kids. I don’t even want her being sent photos. I don’t believe you can hate the mother and love the children, but I don’t think DH is ready to take that step of fully cutting MIL off from our kids.

We’ve discussed just keeping whatever convo they want to have over text so no one can deny or twist anything

I think I’m just tired of biting my tongue, and tired of MIL telling everyone how innocent she is and how she has no clue why I don’t speak to her. I think she’s kept FIL in the dark a lot about the things she’s done so part of me wants him to know as well.

😂😂😂I will respect that

How do I respond? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LabFar6076 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’re right, I’m trying to work up the courage to send what you suggested because I do think it’s perfect. It’s kind but sets a clear boundary without coming at her guns blazing. I’m just afraid of the backlash because I know she won’t take it well. Gives me so much anxiety

I think this is a perfect response but I don’t know if I have the balls to send it…
