Out of Hibernation

My MIL has been in NJ for about a month and a half. She's been living with BIL the Elder for a little under a month. The Man says that when he's spoken to her she seems content and maybe even a bit more "with it." I should be glad about this and I am. But there's another part of me that is resentful. I feel like all the work and sacrifice of the last 3 years was for nothing and in fact will probably be denigrated by my MIL and BIL the Elder. I already know that they talk shit about The Man and me; most of it untrue. The Man says I shouldn't care but I have a hard time not caring. I don't like when people think ill of me based on misinformation/lies/untruths. If people want to dislike me for real reasons, I'm OK with that. Anyway, it's not like I want my MIL to come back. We've been shrugging off the weight of that responsibility and started to relax again. In fact I've booked a lodging reservation over the Memorial Day weekend. I can't tell you where because it is a surprise.
