In-law problems?

Buds,
I strongly believe they expected someone else instead of me as DIL.vinegar:
buds,
:hugs: u take care of ur dh n children well....what else they expect?
In those last painful ten years I had to live with them, they have managed to make a confident and cheerful me reduced to an extremely emotionally strained and unhappy me, like I owe them a living.. like I did them wrong.. like I was worthless.
Because of today's visit, this heart is aching and I'm slowly being brought to those very sad days I had to endure alone. That time, I felt that God had left me to fend on my own but when I realized that I was still alive because what shit I went thru didn't kill me I knew that there was something I had to do to change the course of my existence.
Today, I dunno if what I did differently to change the course of my life was worth it.
Things that do not kill you will only make you stronger. You have come a long way. Talk it out with DH :snuggles: -
buds:
Why alone? Your dh didnt defend you?

This thread holds many memories for me...
Both good and bad.
Bad; because this was where I store all the hurt.. the emotional roller coaster.. the pain.. the aches of having lived and beared every single wasted second of my life X ten long :censored: years.
Which was why I try not to come in here after I was determined to start anew.
Good; because here was where I found strength to carry on with the hurtful and hateful life I had succumbed myself to live in/with because of the many many many cyber friends I had here... to which many of whom I am still friends with in real life (outside forum) till today. Thanks to ALL of you, I went into battle for my \"last fight\" (for my marriage) pretty much prepared be it emotionally or physically, back then.

I will NEVER forget ALL of you, ever. :grphug:
Tonight, I'm just kinda back here to ease the hurt I'm feeling in my heart because somehow I know it is here where my friends know me best. The friendships I forged began here...
You know who you are. All of u... -
sleepy:

Those ten draining years...?
Defend?
Never. Cept during the last straw when I chose out. I couldn't... I just couldn't anymore then... I had given everything I could of myself, there was nothing left to give.
That word (defend) not in dictionary. Never was. Don't think ever will.

TheAnswer:
We all have in law problems of some sort. However, I think we should not be scream at our in laws. It reflects badly of our upbringing and puts our other half in a difficult position. I think it's also important to set an example to our kids. I do not want my kids to scream at me. If DH ever scream at my parents, I would be very upset.
There should be a limit when somebody is hurting another person emotionally. When somebody is hurting us physically, are we supposed to just accept it? Same thing as hurting us emotionally. My relationship with my MIL is actually very good now because she changed her behaviour and hence our relationship is better
I accompanied her to see doctors, urged my DH to visit her more often, brought her out to restaurants, etc. I never regretted that one scream because it changed the course of our relationship. I am not somebody that she can bully. If she treats me well, I treat her even better. However, each person's situation and view is different. Please don't :torchme: me. We don't have to agree. Peace.

I didn't know buds' story until I clicked on the link just now. Shocked me when I was looking at the content. I'm glad that your relationship with your mil improved but sadly it doesn't work in all situations. We can agree to disagree :snuggles:TheAnswer:

Yes, TheAnswer.. there are indeed no words.
That was only the last straw portion you read..
The beginning is far far away... tucked within this thread and I'm sure in a few others. For only two things can get to me. Hubs or MIL. When 'things' get to me, I come online to distract me from unhappiness. Anyway, as per to your earlier suggestion to talk it out...
....am afraid when it comes to these things, it ain't up for post-mortem what more discussion. Just civil service way. The usual sweep under carpet method. I'm supposed to take it in stride yes. -

Some day I will hide myself somewhere and read this thread. Tissue box ready. Still feel sad now even though I only read a few pages of this thread.Yes, TheAnswer.. there are indeed no words.

My grandmother is in hospital…her case is terminal. She disagrees with maid…but the maid is also one of a kind, rude, dishonest…my kids named her ‘yaya papaya’.
Anyway the bottom line is, if hubby’s parents are sick…at the rate they smoke and drink and also malnutrition, I dread to think of consequences.
