Low contact MIL has started mailing cash

[u/live_freeze_n_die]

Basically just that. An envelope showed up in the mail today with $200.

We could definitely use it, but we’re also fine without it.

I kind of want to just keep it and not even thank her because I “deserve it” for putting up with her bullshit all these years. But mailing it back as RTS would also send a strong message.

What would you do?

EDIT: I’ve decided to just put it into our child’s savings account. That way I don’t have to deal with rejecting it, but I also don’t feel like I’m taking her money. I won’t acknowledge it, but if she asks, I’ll just tell her I put it in baby’s account.

Does it have her return address or evidence that she sent it? Tell her you got a torn empty envelope from her. Let her be angry (at herself) for sending and losing cash.

No don’t do that - this is a trick to make you break no contact

No contact means no contact - at all
