Okay, so I know im probably going to get some critical comments here, but here goes: I have mentioned in previous posts about my DH having a drinking problem and having been getting help with his recovery since last year. He was doing well, moody, but well and took to going to AA meetings, saw his a...

Cherrycoke2016 - I'm pregnant and my baby's due date is Dec 14. Of course I could either have the baby earlier or later depending on when I go into labour. But, in any case - my baby will definitely be here in time for Xmas and of course, it makes it his first xmas. My DH and I live with my parents,...

@ hateThoseNarcs, sorry that you have to go through this. Honestly, I would just cut your FOO out because they sound toxic. I think its inappropriate of your sister to get in the way and twist events as she did. It was YOUR SON'S bday which she now makes a big deal out to play the victim and essenti...

Me and My DH were planning a wedding that we were paying for ourselves. It was supposed to be small, family members offered to help financially from both sides but that help would have come later on to pay the final bills. DH and I put the deposits down for everything ourselves, our hall, our DJ, ou...

DH is getting pretty annoyed with his family lately. Me and DH are expecting our first baby in December. We currently live with my parents, and we have already started preparing space and a room for our baby. My parents are more than happy to have us over, they have offered us help, my sister has gi...

TMI

Lao88 - I too used to have my DH rage on whenever I mentioned something about his family. Mostly because they never used to make me feel apart of their family, and when they did things to purposely leave me out, or lashed out at me for NO reason...it was me who was always hurt. What was so upsetting...

UPDATE: so I took the advice I received from here and applied it this weekend. SIL was visiting MIL and FIL this weekend again, which meant DH wanted to go over and spend some time with them. This, I was not expecting and DH was adamant he wanted to see his family. OKAY FIRSTLY- since the last time ...

I can relate WTTBT... There are a lot of good suggestions on here. I would simply not dignify anything with any answers because chances are if they haven't learned to mind their manners back then, it wont be starting now either. However, if you're looking to respond to DH with regards to his baffle ...

DH and I planned to visit his parents this past weekend because it had been three weeks since he last saw them and plus we had been spending quite a bit of time with my family as it was, so this visit was long overdue. :( I mentally prepared myself to spend a full day with his family, which initiall...

Gosh mamarama, that's scary and disturbing about your xH. And I do believe in mediums, so the whole "evil" and "demons" thing, I understand in regards to Ns. Sunbeam, I agree with all the commentary here that your H is just an awful and evil human being. I've had my fair share of fights and issues w...

welcome Shar!! This forum definitely is a way for us all to cope with ALL of the inlaw BS...and husband BS as well! My DH thinks his mother is an "angel" and that his sister is "fragile" despite the fact that they are not! My DH didn't support me when his sister was blatantly saying lots of shit abo...

My DH grew up witnessing his father as a brutal alcoholic. My DH is also one who is now in recovery. DH told me that his father used to drink so much that he could not go to work and operate their family business (grocery store). He used to worry who would pay the bills, etc. DH also told me that FI...

I realized last night that DH will never be the person who will stick up for me or take my side with anyone...not just his family, but I mean anyone! :cry: About 2 yrs ago I had severe issues with DH's sister, then his mom and also his dad. His mom and dad I know are just two ppl I will steer clear ...

I agree that your DH needs to take a stand and not go. It's probably easier said than done, which I know from experience already when my SIL did not invite me to several events, one of which was her daughter's 2nd bday when I was engaged to my DH. She said it was a "family" thing, yet when I saw pic...
