Tell me all about it, dear...

The family you're born to is more or less supposed to love you if they're any kind of decent people at all (and obviously some aren't). But being loved by the family you marry into, partly for making their kid so happy and partly for your own sake, is a very wonderful thing. I'm sorry you didn't get both those things, but very glad you've finally got one of them.

You're right, their nastiness says more about them than it says about you. However, you're also right that it hurts. No matter how often you tell yourself that it's their problem, it's still going to feel lousy to you. It's good to see that you're finally safe now and you can allow yourself to heal.

Sounds like you are enjoying your newly-found wings, angel. Rejoice and fly!

Isn't it wonderful to be able to make someone happy by just making them breakfast and delivering it with a smile and a kiss!!?? You know, the last part, where you talked about folks accusing you of ulterior motives...it was only because that was THEIR M.O., and that's all they could see! Folks only look for a lover under the bed if they've spent time there themselves! Ya know what I mean? But I'm so glad that you have someone worth while, someone whose faults you recognize, but those faults aren't deal breakers. Hooray for LOVE!

What a fun read these past three blogs have been. I got teary eyed at Mick's loving ways in finding those stockings to make your special Christmas...and for his mother to have them on hand...just in case. I bet it warmed her heart too to know that they made you feel so happy again. It sounds like you have found your special place with this family...they appreciate you and Wolf, they love you both and they cherish the time you spend with them. What a great way to start a new year...new traditions and new loving family members...even your sil will have a special place in her heart by what the two of you shared this holiday.

After these last few posts, I'm looking forward to the future when when happiness over the years has taken away the brittleness and made you resilient (because you have a safety net named Mick). You will become your MIL, the one who's always prepared with a way to save things when other people are desperate, when you appreciate the ones who make your sons happy so much that it helps to heal some of their own pain to. I don't know your MIL's story, but I'm betting she's been through some tragedy of her own, because most adults have. In your case, all you will give will come out of all the hurt you've been through; you'll glory in making other people a bit happier (you've done a fair bit of that already) and maybe eventually the glow will burn backward a bit and lighten the memory of all those empty years for you.
