[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. It's all DH's fault, so take it up with him. You should tell your MIL that you know now, though.[/quote]

I did take it up with DH... how should I tell MIL that I know?[/quote]

You shouldn't.

If anything, realize that DH hurt her too. Forgive her how she dealt with it.[/quote]

Well I was responding to PP who said I should...

But to you that are saying "just deal with it," this is not helpful for me because I am hurting.  How should I deal with it?

I'm not sure how DH hurt her, though.[/quote]

He mistakenly slips about a pregnancy instead of "Mom, great news, you are going to be a grandma!" That would hurt. But that is between her and your DH. You are just collateral damage. There is no need to talk to MIL about it. Just keep moving forward until eventually you feel better. That might take a couple years. Focus on the things you do like about her, how you can get along, and otherwise let DH largely deal with his parents.

I am the PP whose MIL asked DH to lie to me--seeing how much DS loves MIL has helped as has giving up on having any relationship of substance with the ILs. Lower your expectations, enjoy what is good, let time pass...that's it.[/quote]
