Hey Spring,

I feel so bad for you that you are so angry with MIL, I cant blame you really. You have spoken to me about her in the past and in all honesty she probably needs to hear all of that. You have worded the email very well, you havent "attacked" her you have just been honest about how hurt you are. I think you should be proud of yourself because it takes a lot of courage to confront these situations, I am proud of you

I said to someone just tonight that "there is one in every family" and I think in your case it is your MIL - you know one who only ever thinks about themselves, and one who really will just NEVER get it! Dont regret sending the email in the morning, see it as a weight lifted off your shoulders and if you dont get a response I would take it as she is afraid of the confrontation which shows how weak she truly is. But you may find this is the kick in the pants she needs and you may get a reply.

I think you are right that the reason she asked DH if she could ring is because she knows she has done wrong!

Let us know how you go, I will keep my fingers crossed for a positive and heartfelt response.

Mel
