This was my last MIL thread and I hope the link works.

We have all been NC with MIL pretty much since my last thread and it’s been blissfully quiet. My husband caved just before Mother’s Day and sent her a card which he made the kids write in, and (of course) posted it too late to arrive on time. As I mentioned in the link, she has been playing favourites with the kids and they received a group email from her which she had addressed to “Sweetie” (Favourite Kid), “Kid Two’s Name” and “Kid One’s Name” talking about the cake she was making herself for Mother’s Day... 🙄 Whatever....
She rang a few days ago after receiving the card and spoke to my husband for a very long time. Great. According to him, things are fine and all resolved. Perfect.
Last night he told me that as I hadn’t spoken to her since she left my house a year ago, he would like ME to call her and bury the hatchet. I asked him why it was my job when she had behaved so vilely towards me (in my own house) and my children - and that she should be the one picking up the phone to apologize and make peace with ME! He said that she had told him that she had sent a card and left messages. What a fucking manipulative liar!!! I am reasonably certain that he knows I was not lying when I told him that this is not true, and once again I am certain he’s choosing to be all fluffy and useless about it. I was so shocked by this turn of events that I took the dog for a very long walk late last night and he was asleep when I got back, or I would have exploded! I am going to make it very clear tonight that I will not be playing this game. I am also going to let our eldest daughter tell him what was said to her (and later tell him what was said about her as well).... I wonder why I have been trying to protect him from this viper of a woman?!?!
Any other hints would be greatly appreciated!!!
