[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you accomplishing anything here? Do you think she will "learn her lesson"? Do you feel good about what you're doing?

If you can answer yes to one or both, maybe you can keep this up. If you have doubts, err on the side of being the bigger person.[/quote]

Are you accomplishing anything here?
-OP gets to have her time with her kids at home.

Do you think she will learn her lesson?
-Irrelevant question. Setting boundaries isn’t about teaching a lesson.

Do you feel good about what you’re doing?
-If I were OP, I’d feel great about setting boundaries, not being manipulated into making visits and creating space for my spouse to connect with his mother. [/quote]

What is the boundary exactly that is being set here?[/quote]

Not being guilted into visiting MIL. [/quote]

+1 that OP isn't responsive to manipulation[/quote]

Responding to manipulation would have been visiting her years ago when OP was also dealing with her own father.
Visiting her now while recovering from major surgery would just be a choice...[/quote]
