More on the card situation.

I received a Christmas card yesterday from his parents. It was addressed to both me and the girls. It had a short personal note inside saying how they hoped things were going smoothly, they were thinking of us, and "we love you."

Anyway, I guess some in his family will act one way and some another way. I don't know why I assumed they would all be a certain way, as if they get together and say, "let's all treat sunny this way..." They're all individuals.

My kids just got back from their Christmas visit to the in-law siblings with my H, and they told me about an incident where a couple of the sibs were total jerks to my H--treated him rudely and with disrespect. I know I shouldn't like hearing that story, but it made me feel better to know that sometimes they are just jerks, and it isn't necessarily about me, but just how they are.
