MIL Stress
So ive been married for nearly 7 years and have 2 beautiful children with my third on the way. However though me and my husband are amazing, his family has a lot of issues. He has 2 younger sisters, one who is mentally unwell and the other who is just a snake and always causing issues. Ive always known that my husband doesnt get on well with his eldest brother and they dont speak, however he is fine with 1 brother and his elder sister. Now his brother came back from abroad today after a few weeks, i was at my MILs at the time. My husband showed up a little later and asked about his brother and if he was back to which i told him he was and was upstairs....now im not sure if they met or not and wasnt paying attention as i dont need to. Shortly after my husband left as he had to return to work. My son was asking for his dad after he left and got a little emotional, my MIL asked why he was crying and i told her cause he was asking his dad. She went on to complete flip mode...saying things like "oh how is he busy...he didnt even meet his brother....youre keeping him away from his family...i see what youre doing.....ive raised my kids alone and now youre splitting them up".....i.couldnt believe it. Ive recently moved to a place closer to my MIL so she could be closer to the kids...ive always gone out of my way to help my MIL.with her daughter who is unwell where ive left my kids for hours on end with the other family, and then to be accused of splitting the family up has really got to me. Am i being really dramatic and overly emptional or am i just to feel how i am??? I have spoken to my husband and he doesnt get it either cause he knows im not the type to split him from his family, but then doesnt want to say anything direct until its been bought up to him cause he knows his mum has a lot to deal with when it comes to his younger sisters. I had to.let my frustartion out and soeak about how im feeling cause i was left feeling emotional!
