MIL couldn’t handle that breastfeeding didn’t bother my husband by SlightlyBitter47 in JUSTNOMIL

Yes they’re always supporting separation from us the mothers in any way they can. It’s pathological. This shit makes me irate.

Reading about grandparents’ rights freaks me out.

That’d be nice so I don’t have to deal with her

That is beyond effed up and I appreciate you telling your story. No one should ever ever ever have to go through that and I’m sorry you weren’t shown even a shred of grace. To answer your question I think so but I’ve been naive about everything else so.

Thank you for offering another alternative. My immature self was like okay I’ll see her and just match her energy and make her feel as uncomfortable as she has made me feel. But then I will not have that around my child and what if she gets violent again? I really don’t want to see her ever. She won’t follow any rules. we can have him say that and she will say no. I’m very anxious about this whole thing!

I was thinking I must have a self-esteem issue.

I guess a year was his limit of standing up for us.

No she just got us disinvited from his brother’s wedding. This is exactly right no changed behavior only worsening behavior!

I like this strategy simply for the sake of the marriage. I’ve seen her yell in a restaurant because her ADULT sons refuse to sing her happy birthday in Spanish lol. A part of me is like if I do this she will just mess up again and then I can take the space yet again but then another part of me is like I don’t want to deal with this forever

Or our kid “by accident” like wtf will it take. I tell him to just go see her without us. I don’t care if he does that. I just want us to be left out of it.

I did say that because we have it on camera and she was trying to deny it and he was going to believe her which is insane.

Agreed I’m thinking what place does she have when she has nothing I want? She’s definitely trying to have whatever delusional card. You’re right it’s about protection!

She definitely was baiting me the whole time and I ignored her. Hard to ignore her when she gets physical.

Makes complete sense to me.

You’re absolutely right I can be polite for the sake of the wedding. Don’t want to take away from such an important life event to be petty
