My mother has all of a sudden decided that I am her venting booth. I have been hearing things about my own parents relationship that I really wish I had never heard. Things that are changing my views about them as parents and it is truly breaking my heart.
And then yesterday she called me, they visited back in December. I have a younger brother wkth a clear video game addiction. I mean he loses sleep, he doesn't eat, he gets enraged with anger and panics if he can't touch his video games. It is ridiculous, and my parents allow it to happen by purchasing more for him.
Well rewind to the week they were here.
My husband, now I did think he was a little put of line when he said this at the time, and I discussed it to him...anyways, we had a day planned to go out to an arcade, and a funplex place in town, grab a bite to eat. Basically have a day of fun.
Well my husband when we were all in the living room said: Hey, today let's not play video games, and not tv, llets actually socialize and do something.
Well my brother of course got all butt hurt about it and ao my parents took him and they went to the grocery store, where they decided they will never stay longer than 2 nights here. (Which is honestly okay with us.🤣)
Anywho... she calls me yesterday to vent about that day. She thencompares my husband to the most controlling evil man that I personally know, saying that "Oh your dh must have a terrible temper, he is out of control, and controlling....ect..."
My husband is quite the opposite of that and it hurts me yo even THINK that my own mother could compare him to some so terrible. I feel like my mom doesn't trust him and sees my dh as some evil! My husband is one of the most kind people you could meet. He has been so supportive during our entire marriage, he is an absolutely wonderful father to our children.
It literally is hurting me so bad that she could compare him to THAT man. A man who controls his wife to the point she can't open the blinds, do her hair, or wear makeup, and has literal anger issues.
All because my husband suggested to do something different and my brother got butthurt about not playing video games.
What do I do? I honestly don't even want to call her, because lately it has been calls of venting, and me hearing things about those that I love, that I wish I had never known, as well as lies, and things that are mentally hurting me.
I don't even know what to say. Yesterxay I was in so much shock the I could only get a short sentence out, and that was, "my dh does not have a temper, and he loves my brother as his own brothers."
That's all i could get out. What do i do? It has been eating at me all night. I am literally hurt and ashamed of things that she has told me. And all she says at the end is... "you know wives tell each other things they would never tell their husbands..."
I am so hurt, I am pregnant and trying not to stress about it, because I had a miscarriage with my last.
Thanks for reading this long post. Any advice is welcome. I love my mom, but I have no idea what to do ablut this situation. 😓😔
