So this happened my MIL, who didn’t like me for years and treated me terribly, finally apologized and asked for forgiveness. But at this point, I’m already checked out. I wanted this apology years ago, and now I don’t really see us having a relationship.

It would’ve meant a lot if she had apologized back then not now, after I’ve had a baby. Maybe I’m being too harsh, and maybe I’m supposed to forgive, but I feel like I’ve already given up on her.

I told her the truth, and there’s really nothing left for me to say. Having a baby has made me speak up for myself more.
