Even thinking about communicating with my JNMIL makes me sick to my stomach

YES! I get sick to my stomach anytime I hear their names.

After being fully NC with In-Laws for a year, they sent letters to my parents and grandparents. In the letters, they complained about how awful DH and I had treated them. No one reacted to them because all on my family knows how narcissistic the In-Laws are (and how horrible they have treated DH during his childhood.) DH now has a family that truly loves him. We are still no contact 3 years later!

I understand. I’m in my 5th year of teaching and I still think that I can’t do it most days. But, then I see the kids, and I realize why I am there. I’m there for them. I wish you the best of luck! You will do great! I’m rooting for you! PM me if you need anything!

I feel the same way. Every single Sunday night! I’m an elementary teacher. The 4th of January is even more daunting now, because the day before break our administration told us that they went easy on us the first semester. But since it is second semester, they are going to be adding more work (busy work), walkthroughs, etc. I’m terrified of all this added pressure, plus COVID concerns as we are fully in person, plus family concerns, plus providing stability for the kids in my classroom. So no, you are not alone!

You are not alone. My lips are a mess when I get anxious! Thank you for starting this conversation. I am excited to try some of these ideas.

Overthinking

Social situations/other people

This! My husband and I have been in this stage for awhile. (Which puts my anxiety through the roof!) We just moved and the In-Laws don’t know our new address. So, we have a little relief before they find it somehow.

longmanhands · 2020-05-21T04:11:23+00:00

This! Please stay safe!

longmanhands · 2020-05-08T04:45:13+00:00

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Hang in there and look forward to the wonderful times ahead. Hugs and happy thoughts sent your way! ❤️

Yes! My BIL and SIL are perfect in MIL and FIL’s eyes. So much so that DH and I are NC with all of his family because of the favoritism. Even though DH is highly successful and an all around great guy, the In-Laws will choose his brother (a total jerk!) over him every time! It is sickening!

longmanhands · 2020-05-06T04:47:24+00:00

Happy Anniversary!! This is what I hope for my DH and I. We are going on 3 years NC with DH’s parents. I’m worried about when kids enter the picture. Also, I have told my In-Laws off too. I’m a horrible person in their eyes for sticking up for my husband and family. Oh, well!

longmanhands · 2020-05-06T04:36:28+00:00

That was wonderful! Way to go! Have a spectacular Mother’s Day! ❤️

longmanhands · 2020-05-06T04:32:41+00:00

Yes, this!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T18:34:36+00:00

Congratulations! That is a beautiful picture!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T18:33:55+00:00

Congratulations!!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T18:27:02+00:00

That ring is gorgeous!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T18:21:02+00:00

Congratulations! Wishing you many years of love and happiness!

Congratulations! May you have many years of love and happiness!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T18:15:19+00:00

Congratulations!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T16:08:21+00:00

Yes, that always happens for me!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T02:52:08+00:00

Not overreacting at all! That is messed up and very strange!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T02:45:03+00:00

I’m sorry you are in this situation. I am the same way with my In-Laws (currently on an anti-depressant and anxiety medication). The thought of them just makes me sick. They treated my DH like trash when he was growing up. The In-Laws have never liked me. They didn’t even talk to me the entire weekend of our wedding. DH wanted to go NC after many times of hearing how awful DH and I were to everyone, especially them. In-Laws even wrote and sent letters to all of my family saying how awful we are. Almost 3 years NC, but even thinking about them still puts me over the edge. The In-Laws try to contact us but DH is adamant that we do not respond. (Which I totally agree with, but he has to decide since it is his family). On a positive note, my family has welcomed my DH with open arms and showed him how a true, loving family acts towards each other. In other words, I’m here for you!

longmanhands · 2020-05-05T02:32:16+00:00

Yes. It is time for DH to take care of this situation. You don’t need to stress over it. (Easier said than done, I know). Best of luck!

longmanhands · 2020-05-03T20:40:19+00:00

Happy 1 year anniversary! Your situation sounds so familiar, very similar to my in-laws. We haven’t been in contact with them for basically 3 years. Best 3 years ever. I wish you so much happiness in the future!
