In laws and getting it off my chest
I’ve been having a lot of problems w my in laws lately and it’s been bleeding into my marriage. I finally decided to write a letter about everything I feel and how hurt I am. I haven’t decided if I should send it or not yet but boy did it feel good to get it off my chest. Even if nobody ever reads it, it’s nice being able to speak freely and say how I really feel
I have been in this. My husband’s brother was literally talking shit to my husband about me. I told him it was unacceptable and if he had an issue he could talk to me. It took my husband standing up to his family (because the MIL and FIL were just saying that’s how this brother is). It took my husband saying we wouldn’t be coming to events if it continued. So far it has worked. But we have set a lot of boundaries now. And my husband knows I won’t take the shit anymore. I will leave his parents house. I would leave events and take the kids with me. Because people who can’t respect me are not going to be a part of my children’s lives. Once I laid that down and explained it to him he’s stepped up. He kept telling me that’s just how they are. I told him it wasn’t acceptable and that I would not be a part of it anymore. Now, on the flip side, his brother isn’t talking to him bc his parents lectured him. But one day he will. So I would give the letter to your husband.
