So my fiance and I had to make the difficult decision 5 months ago to go no contact with his family because of how their behaviour has been towards me (prejudiced/ isolating, always making me feel like the outsider etc) – a few days ago MIL reached out to apologise via a text message and wanted to meet up. Have people here had any experiences with re-connecting with the inlaws (within limits..) and has it ever turned out positive? Just feeling nervous about this situation and would love to hear others thoughts.

Sounds to me, like she’s realized she’s not gonna be invited to the wedding and is now thinking about how that’s going to affect her.
Meet her if you want, but do it in a public place and see if she takes genuine accountability or just tries to rug sweep. Treat people the way they have treated you until they prove they are capable of change.
