Has anyone else had experience with family members trying to “repair” relationships while they are/were pregnant? My MIL and I have had a pretty bad relationship since shortly after my husband and I got engaged 8 years ago. She has said and done some pretty horrible things over the past 8 years. Within the past few months she has started to make a point to tell me she loves me and if I don’t acknowledge her she repeats it until I do. She will text me bible verses or similar things and I usually don’t even respond. When I don’t respond she complains to my husband. I honestly feel the attempt/effort is fake and she is only doing it because I am carrying her first grandchild (I feel it’s fake due to previous comments she has made since we shared we were pregnant). It’s like I don’t even have time to process what she is doing because I’m so focused on getting everything ready for the baby, my own health/well being, and making sure I surround myself with people/situations that are positive. I guess I am still waiting on that “I’m sorry” and her acknowledgment of all of the horrible things she has done and said and I’ll probably be more likely to accept her efforts. Pretending/not acknowledging all of the bad things never happened and saying “I love you” doesn’t make it all go away. I know I may never get that sorry or the acknowledgment, but pretending none of it ever happened is just a hard pill to swallow after a great deal of damage has been done.
