I been having a hard time to deal with our separation I cried  for many nights thinking how my life will be changing from now on ... we pop the news to our parents and siblings a couple days ago since we desided this was it, but my in laws specially his mom won't let me go she keeps calling me every day to see how we are doing (my daughter&me) which I really appreciate the love and care but I feel this is making it more difficult... 


what should I do ? Any opinions..

I wish my ex in laws was like that, she does not even call my kids on there birthday. Does not give either of my kids gifts for any occasion. She is your daughter's grand mother. It will hurt your daughter if she cannot see her grandparents. She is innocent and should not be dragged into this. Tell them that you will bring her around as long as the father is not there. Be honest with them.

In the beginning, I did not contact my Ex's parents and waited for them to reach out. I knew my EX would be telling them all kinds of lies about me and if I meddled, it would have backfired on me. They did reach out and still do. I see them often but not around the EX. I do not call them a lot, but I do send them cards for birthdays, Christmas and Fathers/Mothers day and send small gifts at Christmas with my kids. They were very good to me and considered me their daughter for 30 years. They are also my children's grandparents so I want them to remain close.

I suggest you wait it out and see what happens. Your MIL sounds like she is hoping you two might get back together. Be gentile with her...divorce is like a death...there will be grieving. It will eventually work itself out.

    I had gone to the grocery store.  When I wheeled my cartback to my car I just stool there a minute.  A few spacesaway a Tesla Cyber truck was parked.  I had seen it on theroad a few times for a few seconds.  But not close up.It looked like it belonged to 2126 and not 2026.  I wasgoing to take a picture of the car but the owners cameback and drove away.  It was an ordinary middle age...
