I am having trouble managing my triggers with my MIL with her stupid comments and her sense of entitlement. And now I want to go no contact with not just her but my entire husband’s family because they continue to enable and excuse her behavior. I’m so sick of it! It’s literally making me physiologically sick. And everyone wants to act like nothing happened and I am the one that is overreacting, I am the one changing my husband. I can’t stand their mentality and it makes me feel like I am consuming poison whenever I am around her, and now whenever I am around them.
I am battling the thought and expectations of what it is to be a “supportive wife” and “easy going” and “blending into the family” but my peace has literally taken a serious blow. To say that I have had multiple nervous breakdowns since my child was born 1.5years ago.
I am thinking of going no contact for the remaining month, and only show up to a baptism (only because I am the godmother) But this would mean I am skipping two birthdays, and Father’s Day.
I guess I need encouragement to take the courage to stand up for my peace of mind.
