The biggest rug sweep yet
We've been NC with MIL for 6 weeks after she threw a tantrum/too many chances were given and she wrecked all of them. DH told her that he needs time to figure out if there's a healthy path forward in their relationship (after repeated boundary violations and a total lack of accountability) and will reach out when he's ready. She ignored his text and just sends us random messages as if nothing happened.
Well, she tried a new tactic this week and it's mind boggling. She sent him a formal (paraphrased), "Good morning [son], I'm ready to talk now. Our issue is between the two of us, so let's meet just you and me, then you, DIL, and FIL can get together. I miss you and love you very much."
Like...hello? Your son told you he'd reach out when he's ready. You don't get to decide when or how that happens. The last time we saw her, she was so nasty and threatened him and made a scene in public. These ladies are wild.
