My in laws hate me
I had a falling out with my MIl earlier in the week and I’ve now discovered some horrible messages sent from her to my husband following this. Along the lines of that I’m controlling and that I’m from a broken home (I’m not) and that my previous mental health issues (an eating disorder that I’m 8 years recovered from) make me a certain way. She’s warned him to be careful of me. I’m so hurt, upset and angry. I can’t tell him that I’ve seen them but I don’t know what to do. We’ve been together 4 years and coming up to our first wedding anniversary with a 10 month old. The damage is done and I’ll never want anymore to do with them but how can we move forward when it is this broken and damaged. If his family now hate me. I’ve had a really tough week with my baby teething and I just want to walk out the front door and run away

I hope your husband stuck up for you when receiving nasty texts about you from MIL. He needs to set clear boundaries with her on how it is unacceptable to talk down about you as if you are not a part of the family. His family is you and baby, not her and baby. Past you and baby other relatives are tertiary, that includes her. Of course make the effort to be civil with her, but she is his mother at the end of the day, so he should be the one to speak to her to set the boundaries on what is and isn’t an acceptable manner to talk about his wife and mother of his child. I think you should tell him that you saw the messages, that shouldn’t be something you feel you need to hide. You and your husband are a unit and should be in this together xx
What a horrible woman! If she never wants to see you again does that count her grandchild also? Because if someone had that little respect for me they would not be seeing my child or having any kind of relationship with them!
Wow. Go no contact. If they want nothing to do with you then that includes your baby. Get them out of your life because they are not worth it.
