Thanks, Toph. I called her at lunchtime and I could tell she was waiting for me to say something. Our family, however, are masters of the "there's no elephant in this room!" manner of speaking, so I just welcomed her home and wished her well.
What makes it bad is I see what a loving and nuturing relationship my husband has with his parents; how engaged he is in their wellbeing, and quick to help. They are open with each other, it is quite lovely. I see the same in his relationships with his grown children. I should really appreciate being able to share a bit in their togetherness instead of grumbling about the lack of it where I came from.
