I Finally Spoke Up

I told DH to handle his parents and their drama.  And he did.  And I adore him for it.

But, it all kept eating on me.  I spent 2 1/2 hours typing up a letter to the two of them, telling them why the words the said and wrote hurt me.  From about 1 am to 3:30 am, I poured out my heart.

I wasn't biitchy.  In fact, what I wrote was very peaceful and straight forward.  I broke it all down.  And I set a lot of things straight.  I hope, they take the time to read it and realize that neither J nor I were using the kids to hurt them.  That half the drama is in their heads.

And I made sure to tell them both that, while MIL chooses to blow off a lot things FIL says, there are things he says that are borderline cruel.  And that he needs to think before he speaks.  We dont have to just listen & take it.

Hitting send was like a huge weight was lifted.  Lord, I hope things look up from here.  I don't like family fights.  And I hate seeing my kids dissapointed.
