MIL knows better than doctors

There’s a long history of her over stepping boundaries and being disrespectful and I mostly bite my tongue to keep the peace but she crossed the line yesterday. My son has had to see a dietitian and a gastroenterologist who we are very lucky i...

I'm devastated 😔🥺

I didn't know I would ever feel this way, but I hope our children NEVER EVER meet a man like their father. He is a narcissistic drama king who can't be good for anyone.
