[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you unblocked her, OP.  Seems like you might not be ready for radio silence from her. [/quote]

My SIL mentioned that between thanksgiving and Christmas that she reached out to us a million times and even said sorry even though she didn't do anything wrong. During the time she was blocked. Out of pure curiosity we unblocked her. No interest in engaging but genuine curious what if anything these text messages would say. I truly doubt she sent anything knowing her. She didn't get her way at Thanksgiving and I'm sure she gave us the silent treatment not knowing she was already blocked. But in the rare chance what she told SIL was true. I wanted to see what her narrative would be.

No texts no calls. I feel okay about it. We are dealing with infertility and trying IVF in a few months to have a child. I know that if and when that child comes to us there is no way I'd be able to have a relationship with my mother. The thought of her holding said child or even being in the same room. I'd become violent. Knowing she's still in contact with my brother, not only that but thinks he hung the moon. She'd be sending him photos and I couldn't handle that. I'm glad we are dealing with this now and not postpartum. Hopefully I can do some work in therapy and get healthier in the next few months [/quote]

I don’t think you can see old texts that she sent while she was blocked, at least on an iPhone. Not saying you should unblock her or that she is telling the truth about sending those messages.[/quote]

Correct. I wish when you unblocked ppl you could see any attempted contact. But yes we know we can't see if she tried. We unblocked to see if by chance she was telling the truth and if she continued to reach out with a supposed apology. She hasn't. We haven't felt the need to block again. I imagine if she ever does contact us and it's not an apology we will. [/quote]

That’s hardly proof she never tried since texts don’t show up. How many times do you put a dollar in the broken vending machine? You’d be an idiot to keep putting money in once you figured out it was broken. If my daughter acted like that at some point I’d stop trying too.  I just don’t get why if you were ok with it, why does it upset you that she didn’t text or call? Isn’t that what you wanted? Doesn’t make sense to block someone if you’re going to immediately go home and unblock them after someone else mentions their name. Was this just an attempt to see if they are still hanging onto the rope you haven’t let go of yet? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you want to desert your mother go for it, but why get pissy when she doesn’t respond back if that’s what you wanted? I don’t get this one at all.[/quote]
