[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 478786"] I had a nice long talk with my mother in law on the way home today. Love love love her!!! She went through it all with husband so she is so great to talk to. Her advice is to not chase difficult child to contact - which I agree with - as far as difficult child knows, I do not know her phone is gone or that she has a different number. But if she should happen to call for Christmas, to carve out a couple of hours to spend with her either here or out somewhere, but not a whole day. I agree with that completely. Perhaps breakfast or a movie that night (we usually go to the theater Christmas night). But not a whole day and not something to stress about unless she calls. Also talked more with husband and I totally get it. He has set a boundary and until she can visit and be respectful, he would rather not be put into the position of being the bad guy. Since she was screaming at me calling me a B last I saw her, he doesn't have assurance she can be an adult here. Thanks everyone! It wasn't a very good day for me, but I am feeling a bit better..... :) [/QUOTE]
