Cat – so sorry to hear about your GM but I hear also your love and care for her need to move on – your MIL on the other hand is a piece of work and rivals mine – the good news is that she hasn’t spoken to me since before DDay, and even though we have been separated for over 18 months and its no skin of my nose if he has a relationship with her, he doesn’t speak to her now either – eventually they figure it out for themselves – I hope that you and H get where you want to go together and he stays the course of emancipating himself from his FOO shit. God only know that our kids will have to do that too:(
