I never talk to my in-laws, not ever. I don't think they even know anything about me really... and don't particularly care to either. <br /><br />I second what all the other posters here have said, namely that you and Leland are really amazing people and have a strong partnership and a good thing going here. I know it's hard when these relationships are not clear-cut and, well---quite frankly, kinda stupid... and I wish you both lots of goodness and peace. <br /><br />And now that I'm done with my hippie peace and love business, it's their loss, you rock and are amazing... I can't imagine them not wanting to get to know you as a friend and daughter... I feel lucky to have met you (you know, like the cosmic sort of met) and they are knaves not to feel the same way. <br /><br />Hugs to you and Leland...Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301893849950404073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-12378837563008304032009-08-27T05:01:05.094-07:002009-08-27T05:01:05.094-07:00I came by via One Sassy Girl and am glad I did.
Y...I came by via One Sassy Girl and am glad I did.<br /><br />Your posts are so honest and I can't believe your MIL is such a douche. <br /><br /><br />I hope your husband peace with his relationship with his mom, whatever it becomes.Little Ms Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208746635976950728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-79328963255813280232009-08-26T23:57:01.295-07:002009-08-26T23:57:01.295-07:00Harsh.

I was shocked. As someone who is connected to both members of the family shouldn't that be a happy day? At least your husband is willing to step up and be the better person when it comes to dealing with his Mom. That takes a lot of character! And good for you for supporting him along the way. This won't necessarily be a good thing for you to have her reinvolved in your life, but you've set aside YOUR feeling and put your husband's first. Something his mother should be doing.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231049000884470572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-52911986536553568442009-08-26T15:50:28.086-07:002009-08-26T15:50:28.086-07:00I hate that for both of you!!!!
