I have been estranged from NMIL and NFIL for about 15 years - she treated me badly for years, and now that we are no contact, she sends a lovely card to me for every birthday, anniversary, and holiday. I suspect she does it on purpose to annoy me and make me look bad. My NSIL who is best buddies with NMIL sent a Christmas card to my husband only this year. How childish to be so petty and vengeful, especially at Christmas. And I have never done anything to this miserable woman. Bah humbug to both of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
