@mind_yourboundaries: ‼️ There’s a clear difference between someone behaving in a harmful way based on a deep seated fear (which most of our content is based on) and someone displaying a complete disregard for another human being. ‼️Just because someone is “family” doesn’t mean they get to use us as their punching bag. Based on the DIL’s report, this mother-in-law’s behavior is disgusting, and she’s being mean just to be mean…. NOT OKAY. ✅ Next steps for this DIL (if I were her): 1. Therapy - I’d work with a licensed professional to process all my grief, loss, and trauma. Psychology Today is one free online directory (not sponsored) 2. I’d respect my MIL’s boundary. She left and blocked you and your husband. I wouldn’t chase. 3. I’d focus on my marriage, and the life we’re building together. 4. Acceptance - I’d accept that while this isn’t want I wanted, this is the MIL I got. And rather than focusing on what I don’t have, I’d focus on what I do… a rockstar husband that had my back 10000% of the time. My heart goes out to you, and your family going through the tragic loss of your sister, and their child. I’m so deeply sorry. Please keep us posted. And incase I wasn’t clear: It’s okay to exhale and stop fighting for a relationship someone else isn’t interested in.
