Lovely posts here.I have been very lucky with both my DIL's.One DS and his wife have now separated and DIL and I were both very upset not just about his decision, but as we have always got on so well.We have remained very amicable.After one altercation with my son that involved me in part( to do with GC minding) she said " me and your mum are alright,leave her be"! She said to me afterwards " we are,arent we?!". Of course we are. I'm not daft, the reasons for the split were not to do with anyone running off with anyone else, so that may have made things easier to be amicable.I know things will probably change when she meets someone new, but to me and OH she will always be our darling DIL. Another friend has managed to remain friends with her DIL after divorce partly because of helping out with GC, but partly because they got on well. We both know our DIL's faults and attributes, but love them as people and mothers of our GC.
