Support...when I least expected it!

[Heatherwantspeace]

I just wanted to share a really good thing that's happening to me. I've taken time away from my family to set some boundaries and get perspective. I met up with my sister-in-law a week ago and shared some things...some things she didn't know about the family and where I'm at. She turned from the person trying to get me to come to family events to the person saying I know why you want to stay away. She sent me an email this morning saying she'd spoken to my other SIL and wanted me to know they're both in my corner! It feels SO good. I never thought I'd get this kind of support.

Sometime the universe will throw you a little sunshine amidst the storm!

Great!

Maybe being in-laws, and therefore a bit removed from all the emotional and historical family connections, they might be able to help build bridges, if that's possible...

Thanks for sharing in my happiness, both of you. I was afraid this post would fell like I was boasting or gloating, but I really did want to share a good day!
