Basically ive been with hubby for nearly 9 years now and our relationship hasnt always been perfect.. we have had our ups/downs.. Our struggles.. mainly financially due my chronic medical condition and i believe our love is what gets us through but seriously some of our families (both mine and his) drive me INSANE!!

Lets start with my mother.. she is a liar, a cheat and just horrible.. i ran away from her when i was 14 years old.. (youth shelters then lived with my dad) But my mother NEVER taught me any of the things she should have!! My mum cheated on her BF with a married man and stayed with him (married man) for like 8 years!! She is now ENGAGED to a disgusting peice of shit who is abusive (mentally and physically.. I have been "talking" with her for about 10 years now ans she is still more of an distant relative rather then a mother.. she brags that her whole side of the family are "healthy, happy and EXTREMELY fertile" amongst other things!! She is all about money.. she still hates my hubby as she has done since day 1.. she met my in-laws like 10 months after we got together and all she could do was tell them horrible stories about me (MIL wanted to knock her out lol)

My sister is a drug addict gold digger.. < says it all literally.. havent spoken to her in 3 years..

My SIL #1 is self obsessed.. she has a chronic illness that "apparently" prevents her from working full time... yet recently got married and her wedding cost $30,000+ and she is doing everything she can to "impress" her in-laws.. lol (agreeing to their views on topics which she never previously agreed too, attending church now, doing high class type things etc) oh and everything has to be about her and only her!! She literally told everyone at my wedding that i had just had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy which i wasnt going to annouce yet..

SIL #2 Well she uses and abuses people to get her own way, EXPECTS everyone else to look after her children, blames everyone else for an behavioral issues she has, EXPECTS everyone else to buy her children stuff ALL the time, palms her eldest child off to anyone she can during school holiday.. but only trusts us (hubby n me) to look after the eldest who we have basically raised (ive been in his life since he was 3 years old and hubby raised him for his first few months due to her being in hospital with complications from birth) and well she bags me out to everyone she can when i wont do what she wants..

BUT my MIL is amazing, she has stood by hubby and Me through our ups/downs. Respected our choices and adores me like a daughter. She is has taught me so much over the years and i have so much respect, love and trust for this amazing woman. She stood by our sides when we discovered our 3 pregnancies were ectopics/miscarriage. She drove 6 hours to be with us and even stayed for a few weeks afterwards to help anyway she could. Her advice is whats helped me get through the last few years.♡♡ She is the mother ive always wanted but never had till i met hubby. Just recently she told me how proud she was of the woman ive become over the years, the maturity she has seen me have in various heartbreaking situations and that she could truly see the love for me in her sons eyes.. it was the same as hubbys grandfather's love for his wife of 65 years! What an honor that was to be told that!! ♡♡

Moral of this.. Is that no matter how shit yous/his family is.. Love is what gets you through it all..

(Sorry if this sounds bitchy, just needed to get this off my chest as its been driving me nuts..

P.s Yes i do have PTSD, yes its being treated, Yes hubby knows how i feel and feels virtually the same..)
