[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how about just saying to yourself -- My pregnancy did not get announced in the special way that I wanted.  I'm disappointed about that, but c'est la vie.

And start fresh with your MIL.[/quote]

I promise you I could care less about that.  I'm a little upset that I had to care for my mother for a week when she had a broken ankle, sneaking off to throw up, etc., to avoid telling her, when DH already broke that promise... but that's about it.

I can't start fresh with MIL, I'm upset.  If she apologized, maybe.  But I don't really love soliciting apologies.[/quote]

Apologize for something that happened 1.5 years ago?!? Even if that happened, you would not get closure. Closure comes from within. The posters of DCUM are collectively saying that you are holding on to this unreasonably. You need to look in the mirror and repeat until you believe it too.[/quote]

Well, I haven't "held on" to anything, I learned about it 2 weeks ago and am processing it.

That said, integrity and honesty are extremely important to me.  I don't think it's wrong for me to feel a lack of trust over this.[/quote]

OP, I don't think it's wrong either, but as others have said the lack of trust should be with your DH.  I'm not really sure what you want your MIL to apologize for.  What did she do wrong (other than, it sounds like, behave in a somewhat annoying fashion)?  I'm also confused how this marked the beginning of a rift with her.  It seems that that is really what's troubling you, but it's hard for me to understand how what happened (you thought you were announcing your pregnancy; she already knew about it) would create a rift.
