I have tried searching for other people that feel this way or know how to get past this dreading feeling I have. I just need some support or reassurance or advise on how to talk to my husband about this.

This is a little all over the place so I apologize.

Short background:

My mother in law and sister in law are drug addicts. They only text/call randomly and very spaced out times (which is typical for them when they are using).

At Easter my sister in law had a huge cold sore and wanted to hold my son. And the last time my MIL saw him was on Mother’s Day and we told her to make sure she doesn’t let him put his hands in her mouth. And what do you know, a couple mins later she has her face right in reaching distance of him and his hands are going right for her mouth and she isn’t stopping it.

My SIL is trying to come around more often and my MIL just got her drivers license back and I’m scared she will try to come around more too.

I feel like my husband has a cloud over his eyes because it’s his mom and sister which is understandable.

But ever since I had my son who is now 4 months old I have this dreading, gut wrenching, nauseous feeling when I hear their names or my husband says they are coming over or they text or call.

I don’t want drug addicts in my sons life and I am so scared that they are going to pass something to him and make him sick or worse. I hear all these horror story’s of babies passing away from something that could be prevented and it scares me to death that something like that will happen to him.

I don’t want to spend every day dreading if they are going to try to come over this weekend. I want our lives to be happy and my son to be healthy.

I really hope this all makes sense. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and possibly help me.

***Update: I spoke with my husband more about this and with everyone’s experiences. He agreed and won’t allow them to see him unless they get clean and straighten up. Thank you all for your comments. It really made me feel better knowing I’m not alone ❤️
