Have name changed for this as don't want to out myself if any family are on here.
AIBU to be dreading going to see my 'D'M tomorrow? She is in hospital 4 hours away from here so I have a good 9 hour round trip on train etc to spend at the most 4 hours there. We do not have a good relationship at all and it is gradually getting worse. I have spoken to others about this and they all agree she is the problem, I would almost go as far as to say she is toxic having looked at the stately home threads on here.
She went in for fairly major surgery at the beginning of the week. Originally she said she would be having this in June which was fine as I could take some time off work then however last week she announced it would be this week when I am at my busiest time. She isn't ill enough for me to be granted compassionate leave and I really couldn't have been spared from work so I have spent all week trying to find out how she is from the nurses (fairly positive) or receiving calls from her or my uncle(always negative and she will always ring him over me). I have made contact every single day but she claims I "haven't bothered" to ring so I am going down more to prove a point than anything else.
I really don't want to go but feel I have to, not willing to put the kids through the journey so they are staying at home with DH
I do appreciate there are many of you who no longer have your DM with you and wish you did but my relationship with her is not good.
So AIBU?
