Unsupportive family members!!

*JASMINE* · March 14, 2006

I think it's a control issue. I have a monster-in-law just like this. We had a similar falling out before and didn't speak for the same length of time. We are now on speaking terms for the sake of my husband and son. There were never any apologies and we have never spoken about it. What it comes down to is that she has too much time on her hands. When my MIL starts butting into our lives this way, I just try to ignore her and tell myself that she has no life and she is just one of those people that is set on her ways. There is no changing her. Unfortunately, I have to co-exist with her. My husband and son love her dearly. She has a very passive-aggressive way of saying things to me, so unfortunately they don't always see her bad side.

But on another note, if she would have said anything about who I am as a parent, all hell would have broken loose. That was very unnecessary. It's good to hear your husband is sticking by you.

Hey Diane, it aint' nuthin'. I haven't spoken to my dad for almost 4 years. The truth be known, I haven't missed it a bit.

Your body=Your decision

Tell them, with love, how your they can either accept that you make decisions on your behalf or they will need to learn to deal with it! You are an adult.

It's their loss, if they CHOOSE to have nothing to do with you.
