About a month ago, I boxed up and mailed out my SS's toys that have been sitting here unused since Christmas of 2009. My H and MIL both said to mail them to her to deliver to SS, so I did. As soon as she got them, she changed her mind about wanting to be involved, and started guilt tripping me about sticking her w/ SS's toys.

Well, when I got back from vising w/ family, there was a postal card letting me know I had something to pick up and it'd be $98. Huh? So, I went to the post office yesterday to see what it was. I should have known. MIL refused pick up of one of the boxes, and it has been returned to us COD. I talked to the woman behind the counter and simply explained that it was someone else's stuff that I mailed to them upon their request. I asked her what would happen to it if I couldn't pick it up; I can't, it's $100 I don't have right now and won't for the forseeable future. She said they only hold it so long (10 days, I think), then they'll send it to some HQ office who will dispose of it. I asked if it meant I wouldn't be able to ship things to my H oversees until it was cleared up, she said that no, it wouldn't affect it.

I feel bad, but I'm going to have to let the stuff go. I hate that I care so much about the kid, but I'm obviously going to have to stop; I can't care more about him than anyone in his own family does. I'm just so angry at his entire bio family right now, H included b/c, as I found out yesterday, he knew about this. Someone on here calls the other family the WTB; they're obviously close buddies w/ my H's family.
