Hi there! I’m really sorry that you had this experience within your family especially being postpartum and have to deal with a newborn and all the hormones. I assume you had a ‘real’ conversation with your husband about how you feel and all the aspects of this experience that were nothing but disrespectful towards you. Firstly hosting after giving birth, having your in laws around who you already do not have a great relationship with, to not be heard regarding having SIL around too. If there is anything to apologise for it could be being rude on a simple conversation if that had been the case during this time however all the above decisions were taken against your will during a very fragile period for you and your husband and his parents should understand this instead of asking an apology.
Everytime I have conversation with my husband,he feels I have become very strange after birth.He feels I should reconcile with my inlaws and have loving relationship which I beg to differ.I am on talking terms with my inlaws but cannot have a long and loving conversation.As a son I never stopped him from anything but I need my own space and live in peace.
I am so sorry that happened for you. Having a baby is a lot and having in-laws stay is one thing (anyone in the house I personally feel like I’m hosting 24/7) but for THEM to invite your SIL and her kids?!? The audacity. I can’t lie I wouldn’t have allowed it. Then to disrespect you in your own home. Your partner should be trying to make it up to you. And he says you should ‘forgive’ .. have they apologised then? I don’t think I’d ever truely move past it to be honest giving birth is a vulnerable time and I’d always be a little salty for how I was treated. But maybe that just me.
