Can’t get over how MIL acted postpartum
Recently back in contact with MIL after about 6 months of NC.
Since having our baby, MIL has repeatedly violated boundaries around the birth, postpartum period, and our no-kissing rule when she has hsv-1. Things escalated to the point where she showed up uninvited daily the first 2 weeks PP, made snappy rude remarks to me, made hurtful comments about my body and parenting, kissed LO multiple times after being told not to, and ultimately had a 30 minute emotional outburst where she told me LO was “her baby” more than mine and she loves her more and I wouldn’t understand because I’m not a grandmother, then physically intimidated me while the now ex and his father stood by and just watched. Leading me to cut contact for 6 months.
During that time she and her family constantly pressured my now ex, to leave me and also to just bring my baby to them, said a lot of negative stuff about me and cried on repeat every time he saw them. After a December apology and a seemingly successful visit in March, she demanded another visit just 3 days later and when I said no we will organise something in a few weeks, she pushed back demanding justification.
I can’t get over everything she did. She’s still her entitled demanding self and seeing her interact with my child makes me feel sick. We have another visit this weekend and I’m just so anxious about it.
Anybody else had issues like this? What do you do?
