Divorced and In-laws are a nightmare
Unfortunately I’m a divorced momma of one.
A lot came to play with my divorce one being his family. They’ve always been so rude to me and it always hurt my feelings because I wanted them to be like my second family. I always let the things they’d tell me slide and looked past it because I loved my husband even though we had our own marital problems which also was one of our biggest reasons for divorce.
My ex mother in law always told me when her sons and their wives were on the verge of leaving each other she was so hurt and cried and did what she could to help them get back together. Did she do that with me and my ex husband? Nope. Never sent me a message. Didn’t ask about my baby, just gladly took my ex husband in and that was that. She played favorites like crazy when it came to my ex sister in laws. Talked bad about them but always came back around for them.
I have taken my baby around them and after my toddler does toddler things like walk away to go play she decides to ignore him and just talk to her husband as if we aren’t even there. Which made me angry. They never ask to talk to him on the phone or even face time. I made effort a few times and they have a habit of bringing up their other grandkids doing this and that which doesn’t concern me.
Today my ex husband was asleep and I kept calling due to my baby wanting to call him (he’s about to be 3 and asks to call his dad) and his dad never answered.
I decided to message my ex mother in law and she just ignored my message and didn’t even try waking him up. Let me just say this, they have no problem waking him up when they need something from him. They did it to me when I lived there and would wake us up at the crack of dawn just to ask a question that could wait.
They’re just so mean and it makes me feel more resentment towards them. I can’t believe I took years of disrespect and mean comments about my body or just anything for this to have been my outcome.
I hate that my kids father won’t even stand up for me or my kid when things have been said and done to us.
That part hurts the most. How do I even look past any of it? I know I can’t change or control anything I’m just venting.
