This has not been a very good week for myself or my family. My Grandfather passed away last Thursday of a heart attack suddenly, this is actually the first time I have talked about it without losing myself in a ball of tears. We won't be able to attend the celebration of his life because we would have to travel and my family doesn't think it?s a good idea right now especially since I am so emotional. So now I feel horrible for not attending which makes me even sadder. To top it off today I get a call from my DH, he is a handyman and had to leave a job site because one of the children in the home he was working in had the stomach flu. He works with his father so he let his dad know that it wasn't a smart idea for him to stay because I was pregnant and he couldn't risk any chance of me getting sick so he was going to leave. Well I think nothing of it until about an hour ago I got a call from MIL balling her eyes out because my DH and My FIL got in to a blow out fight because of the whole situation with the sick kid and my DH basically told him will never talk to him again and he was dead to him, myself and his daughter and lot more very hurtful things I am sure (My DH has a horrible temper and My FIL is an ass, I am sure no nice words were said). To top it off we live directly across the street from my IL's so there is no way to avoid this little feud until someone just blows it off we have to face it head on everyday not to mention my DH is out a job!!!!!. I am so happy my MIL and I are left in the middle of all this! Super. If I wasn?t an emotional wreck I am now. I just want everyone to get along!!
Re: Bad Week (NBR Just need to vent)
So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I know stress like that is so hard to deal with normally, and now that we're all giant balls of hormones I'm sure it's worse! I hope you have time to grieve and heal in your own way.
Your DH and FIL will probably work it out. If your DH has a temper I'm sure this isn't the first time he's said that to his dad. In the meantime, I'd try and act as normally as possible with your ILs, especially since you live so close.
Hugs to you, it'll get better!
