Long time lurker but now I need help. Me and the kids,3 of them, have had no contact with mil since December. Dh has gone LC. She's done many things have been disrespectful either to me, dh and/or of nuclear family
• didn't respect boundary of "no belly touching" while I was pregnant and got mad at me for enforcing my "No"
• said really hurtful things to my husband about his choice of career. Saying he would essentially be abandoning us because he would be traveling a lot for work and that I was going to be unfaithful to him while he was gone
• played favorites between ods 5 and dd 3.
Calling ods on his birthday but not dd whose birthday is before his. Buying ods a gift on dd's 1st birthday because MIL didn't want him to feel left out but not doing the same two months later on ods birthday (it's not even about the presents its about being fair)
•For Christmas we asked our foo not to buy toys because we have too many. Everyone respected our rule except MIL. She bought ods a toy but not dd.
So many more examples but my breaking point was the no call on the birthdays. I told my dh that I no longer wanted a relationship with her. We've had arguments over his mom because my dh feels we should give her another chance. I feel like she doesn't deserve another chance but I told dh that I would consider having a relationship with her (without the kids until I see some serious change from her) if she gave me a SINCERE apology.
Today I received this text from her and I don't know what to say to her.
