Hi all! Been awhile, but just wanted to see if anyone else out there hears me loud and clear when I say "we can choose our friends, but can NOT choose our family"? This REALLY sucks!
I'm here in a new state with only my hubby's side of the family here....plane ride for me to go back to visit my family is 8 hrs. I haven't started work yet so I haven't really made any friends yet. Then, of course, hubby is always gone due to residency (of course!) and we don't have little bambinos yet (hopefully in the near future) . Thus, I have felt at times isolated and homesick for my family on the other side of the map. I'm sure I wouldn't feel this way if I were to keep busy which is what I am working on..........
I have a evil SIL that has brought me MUCH misery now that I see her on a daily basis (not by choice....dh and I are temporarily living with MIL/FIL). She is a SPOILED & SELFISH brat! Despite being in her mid 30s, she acts like a 2 yr old! I first met her at her parents house when she ordered, "You can't drink that b/c it's MINE!" when I was offered a beverage by MIL. She chastised my hubby about my "expensive" engagement ring! Yet, she doesn't feel an ounce of guilt for her $50,000 wedding that was paid by MIL/FIL. That's just the beginning here....too long of a list, but the toppers I will mention. Then when our families met up for lunch she completely ignored me (didn't even say "Hi") and sat in front of me! The next day while visiting MIL/FIL's house she wanted to know why it was that I stayed upstairs the entire 7 hrs without coming down to say "Hi" to her and her baby!!!
She's HORRIBLE to her own husband as well. They tried for over a year to conceive. Why? She stated to the world, "It's HIS fault that we can't have babies!" So, they did IVF and finally did have a baby. She doesn't even feel that it's wrong to publicly disrespect and humiliate her own hubby. Then, after having her "miracle" baby she dumps her kid to be raised by MIL/FIL while she returns to work (perhaps, her CRAZY spending habits has something to do w/ this?). Don't mean to offend working mothers. Just wanted to give insight into SIL's choice to live way beyond her means thus needing to work. How could I possibly even think that she could treat me w/ any decency, right?
I give UP on her! :disappointed: Has anyone else been thru this type of nightmare???
Thank you all for listening and can't wait to hear your stories as well :chat:
