Marriage advice - difficult situation for me

Marina • Happily married. Welcomed our 1st baby girl Angel 5th of December 2018 Second baby girl due July 2020 💕

Hi Ladies!

So back in September I had a very difficult situation in my marriage that we tried to overcome but I am still thinking about it from time to time.

It has to do with my MIL.

It has been 7 years that she has been so toxic and mean and I just took it.

For the first time last year we went to visit her in France with our first baby.

(She cannot care less about me or our baby, it is all about her son and how much attention she can get from him)

The stay was not a pleasant one but I was not surprised until the last day before we took our flight home when our baby woke up with red dots all over her face and some on her body.

I was very scared and we agreed we need to see a doctor ASAP. Until my MIL saw that I was in distress so made it her mission to see how much power she has over her son compared to me.

I heard her whisper to my husband in the kitchen, we were ready to leave and next thing I knew he came to me and told me maybe we don’t need to see a doctor, probably it is just a bug bite. (We were leaving the same day for a 24 hour travel back home in the states).

I lost it and we had to do 3 months of couples therapy for me to be able to talk to him again and touch him and my husband decided to cut ties with his mother.

Now forwarding 10 months later, I am 8 months pregnant and we are doing so much better but sometimes I just think about this moment and still feel so angry.

Any tips?

Thank you for reading!
