So Friday I have a quiet lunch scheduled with my MIL. She has always been a very close person to me in my relationship with my ex, even if she was a bit nosey and drama driven. We even had one huge blow out because of the gossip she was spreading about Me, my ex and his brother. Didnt talk for 3 months.
anyway....I think she needs closure. She has been in denial for so long, and when she isnt, she pretends to be on my side when he isnt around. No one is talking to her or telling her much.
I feel like my emotions are starting to steady out, and that Friday will be a very emotional time, but I think she needs to hear my side of the story.
She has convinced herself that my Ex and I can fix things, and maybe we could have if he had wanted to early one, but its been over 3 months. I have discovered a LOT about myself and what I NEED, not want, in my next relationship. I know I cant change him and dont believe in trying to change people. I just hope I can make her understand without to much drama.
we will see.

Hi CelticChick831,

Just be yourself and be honest about everything or whatever you want her to know; if you are responsible for anything, own up to it, even though you are made out to be a bad gal; nobody is perfect and your sincerity will help her to understand. And good luck to you.

I will certainky wish you luck and hope it goes well with your MIL. Family relationships can add so much additional stress to an already difficult time. I myself have not yet told my parents what is happening with my marriage. They are elderly, mom is not in the best of health, and they are 1400 miles away in my hometown. I just couldn't see this being a conversation to have over the telephone. So I plan to fly to see them next month to break the news. I absolutely dread telling them. It is going to break their hearts, this has never happened in our family before and they are not of a generation that will understand this at all. Hell, I am of a generation where divorce is common and even I don't understand it in our situation. I will be thinking about you Friday and hoping it goes well.
