Do you ever think to yourself, “wow I married into the wrong family”? I was extremely close with my husband family and then we split up for 8 months during that 8 months his family acted like I didn’t even exist and my kids didn’t exist. Today I’m very emotional about that. Very. I hate how awful people can be and how my heart is so easily broken.
I'm sorry that you're hurting. I'm praying for your hurt and that it'll be healed by God putting the right people in you and your children's life
Sometimes things like that are just awkward situation! Maybe they simply didn't know how to handle it. I would try to talk it out with them! They may not have meant anything by it and may have been hurting themselves. Idk!
I would be really hurt if my husband didn’t address this with his family.
My husbands brother began dating a new woman last summer, and she has caused a rift in his family. Shortly after they met I organized a birthday party for my hubs and she attended so long story short she became intoxicated and verbally attacked me. Her reason for it was that my brother in laws ex stopped by to drop off a card (she also lives in our rental party that they used to share) and she assumed I did this to spite her. Keep in mind I had no idea his brother was bringing a new gf. I was very close with my husbands family and when it came down to it his family defended the new gf. My husband was mind boggled and we stopped attending family events (he didn’t feel comfortable) to this day his mom blames me for why my husband chooses not to go there for special occasions when the woman is there...his moms exact words were that I needed to get over it. The first time we’d seen them was Easter, and this past Sunday we attended a nephews birthday that the brother and his gf showed up to. We simply chose not to speak with her but my MIL made a point to come up to me and tell me I need to let things go. Relationships with in laws can be tough especially if there’s been a split up or other “incident” like we had.
@julyfirefly23, that’s exactly how his family is. It breaks my heart. Like, wow am I nothing to you people?
My ex husbands family is the same. We were very close I thought and my daughter had a very close bond with all of them. When he left me for another woman they completely cut contact with me and our 4yr old daughter. Haven’t even heard from her grandma in 2 yrs
@masseymomma16, nope. Just when he had left they wrote me off like I was never there.
@phoebesmommy, he doesn’t speak with them much anymore.
