[quote=Anonymous]You may remember me from threads related to new wife keeping me and my children separated, spending a lot, etc.

Anyway, for a long time I felt terrible about not returning my ex-MIL’s calls during the divorce process.  She was literally like a mother to me.  Her health is getting worse and for some time I have felt it laid on my heart to apologize before it is too late.

Current wife and I kept fighting about it - she said it was selfish and serving my needs (ie, my guilt), I should leave her in peace, she raised a terrible daughter, etc.

Fast forward I called last night and we had a nice talk.  I apologized and told her how much she meant to me and that I was sorry.  Her memory is going so I had to remind her of a lot.  She was as sweet as could be. We talked about “old times”.

Wife and I had another fight after and she called me selfish, that it was all about MY need to apologize, etc.  I tried to explain it was about setting things right and seeking forgiveness (I was prepared for not receiving it), telling her she was important to me and I’m sorry I disrespected her by never calling, I’m sorry about the divorce and impact etc.

I got talked over by wife (again) and basically walked away.

Was I right to call?  Am I some secret egocentric ass or did the woman deserve my apology?  I seriously don’t know what to think anymore. [/quote]
