im needing a bit of support here , views opinions and hugs.
have a lovely partner and two children aged 9 and nearly 3 , second child has been in our lives for 2 years and as a foursome we are doing great
However since telling our wider family they have gone into overdrive to the point of cruelty . constant criticism and needling us.... tried to sabatage refernces although we were discribed at panel as "exceptional" in a good way ! no allowences for us getting to know a new child, any lateness due to feeding nappy changing was met with anger so i gave up and dont see them anymore ......... but i am so upset ...... i know i am right to keep a distance but i did hope that they would change and see a way to be happy for us . Now i have been invited to attend annual xmas day party which for the first year is to be held at my mums , they expect me to attend but i cant do it , i will be a nervous wreck and im still so angry and sad . This means for the first year my children wont see any of their cousins over xmas....... i feel so guilty that we have adopted a young child from a difficult family..................... into a difficult family situation. i know im a good mum and we are a happy family and i am protecting them both but i am very disappointed that the wider family , who all agree how badly my family have behaved are allowing the party at her house knowing we will have to stay away ...... very upset
