I have a particular situation going on. If you have followed the last few entries you know that my in laws and I do not get along and that is putting it gently. I want to try to make an effort for the benefit of my husband but it is SO hard. When he was in the hospital his siblings called once, no one visited. Now that he is home from the hospital no calls and not even an email from his brother or sister. His parents called every day in the hospital and his mom came to visit. We really did not expect his parents to come to the hospital because his dad is fighting cancer right now and we know how hard that is.
Now I know you are wondering if my husband has made any efforts and the answer is yes. He has called both of his siblings and gets their voice mails and they don’t return his calls. I just don’t get it at all. My sister and her family come over at least once a month for lunch or just to hang out. We hear from them at least weekly and if we call they answer.
Here’s the dilemma all of a sudden this week his sister has called me a few times. We are the same age so you would think we would be friends. We are so different it is not funny and she just does not like me. She thinks that I am keeping my husband from his family, when the reality is that he does not want to go around them if they are going to treat me badly. Well anyways so she is suddenly calling me not to be nice or try to be friends; nope she is calling me to find out where she can sell some breast cancer items she is crafting. Now should I try to help her or treat her the way she treats me? I am really having a hard time because I know what the right thing to do is and then I know what I really feel like doing.
I feel like I have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other shoulder. Decisions Descions Decisions.
