Thank you.that is so awful you went through that! I’m glad he cut ties with her as although she’s his mum she sounds unhinged and she would have passed on negative feelings and thoughts about you to your Children in the long run which can be so damaging! X
It was a bloody awful time. It went in for over a decade where he didn’t stand up to her. She then kept trying to come back into our family but it just didn’t work. When she used to visit she wouldnt look at me, we would all be sat in our living room and she wouldn’t look if I spoke, she just focussed on her sons face and barely even bothered with her grandchildren. I’d sit there being blanked in my own home. She talked about herself and then when she left she kissed everyone but me,
She cheated on my father in law, left him and regretted it but he wouldn’t take her back, and in her words ‘you deserve to suffer like I have suffered‘. That was enough for me and after 15 years I told my husband I’d had enough. He always covered for her and ran to her every time she cried. Her behaviour was horrenous. I just wanted her to like me and be in our children’s lives but our younger two barely knew her as she was in and out of our lives all the time due to her behaviour.
We were in Aldi one day, she saw us but didn’t speak, our children didn’t recognise her. She was at the checkout behind us fake laughing with her friend, it was so strange. Then the next day appanrelty she had a huge meltdown over it my brother in law told me. She then sent hubby a text saying ‘what we had said to the children to turn them against Me? The reality was they didn’t recognise her as they’d met her maybe 5 times since they were born as she kept sulking hubby wouldn’t leave me, and vanishing off the scene each time.
What hurts now is I’m told she splats all over Facebook what a hard working mum my sister in law is, how amazing she is etc. Why didn’t she do that for me? It hurts and I think it always will and I’m sad my children don’t have their grandmother but she wasn’t stable. Maybe now she’s had therapy and learnt from her behaviour and isn’t doing the same to her younger sons wife.
Anyway, wow I got deep on this thread. Sorry ladies, it just got to me thinking about Carol and Jess. I bet they’ve nit abused Michelle the same way they did Lauren.
