where has this anger come from?

1 minute read time.

I am starting to worry im going to flatten my mother in law. she is making me so angry , ive stood up to her but just gos in one ear and straight out the other, we have told her if hubby doesnt want to see her shes not going to see him but she thinks its her given right as she is his mother, " her words" and why wouldnt he want to see her " also her words ", so every time she rings i say the same and shes narky and im bloody fed up. i even said something to hubby after she rang this morning as was so cross but bless him he just said lets just get it over and done with again so she is coming at 5, unless i tell her otherwise, i cant even bear to be in the same room with her at the moment , i did speak to my sister in law but hasnt made any differance yet,

i just feel very much that the slightest thing is going to push me over the edge ,im doing ok most of the time but i can feel myself struggling if im honest, i just want to enjoy the precious little time we have left , sitting with hubby holding his hand which she says is a waste of my time !!!! but she then walks in and physically pushed me out the way so she could do just that, hubby was so upset ,but as usual  he didnt have the energy to say anything ,to be honest hes too nice to her as wouldnt want to upset her .

All i can think now is god help her afterwards as i will not forget the way she has behaved, if she cannot respect hubbys wishes then she has already lost mine and even her granchildrens  respect as they can see what shes doing and they are upset too,

i need to find some strength from somewhere pdq, just not sure where !!!!!!

    jenni sweetheart - its all so difficult - what to do for best?

    but all i can say is please look at your children and imagine yourself in your mum in-laws place....... wouldnt you want to spend as much time as possible with your baby? see them every day .....in case today was the last day? my son is now 32 (he is getting better) but he is still one of my babies ....... my heart disintergrated last feb when i thought i was going to loose him ........ i cannot imagine the pain you -your children and your in-laws are going through .....but - i know at a time like this you all need each other

    couldnt you set aside say an hour a day for her visits

    maybe she could sit with him while you spend an hour say having tea with the kids? if he doesnt want to see her - tell him to clse his eyes -pretend to  be asleep ?

    oh my heart goes out to you all ..............

    i hope you find a solution and with it the peace you deserve

    love and hugs xNx

    this is a hard one for sure....i was going to say your hubbys mum should be able to see her son as much as she wants.....

    BUT.............

    as a patient i really would want to go in the hospice and no one will be allowed in besides my mac nurse.....

    it would crack me up to let a loved one watch me die.....i really wouldnt like that.....

    so really when i think about it....it should be what ever the patient wants....

    so go with what ever your hubby wants.......

    but thats just my opinion and i dont claim to be right...

    Hi Jenni, I read your status today and I just felt I had to write. I'm sure today is the worst day in this whole horrible story.  It's such a unfair disease that takes away people in the prime of their life and I'm sure you did everything you could to make your husbands life as happy and joyful as possible.  I'm a melanoma sufferer, diagnosed in 2006.  It's gone all over the place including my lungs and I'm having Radiotherapy at the mo.  I have 2 daughters aged 5 and 10 and a lovely husband.  I'm sure I have the easy job.  I know what's going to happen to me.  I'm not going to see what this awful, horrible thing is going to do to the kids.  My husbands love keeps me going and I'm sure your husband didn't want to go and knew how much you needed him and loved him. I'm sorry you've had upset with the mother-in-law when all your emotions were so raw.  I hope she behaves now!!!

    I just had to say, Hi, take care, and just take one hour at a time. I really don't know how my husband will cope once I go. Please keep in touch.x
