My SIL (DBs wife, the lovely one) is staying with us while her extension is completed. She's been here since last Thursday and since then her mother has rang 4 times for long rants about her own marriage. Every little detail has been poured over. SILs parents seem to be going through a very rough patch at minute and while she understands her mother's need to talk, she ends up crying over it with me as she feels so emotionally stacked with the whole thing.
She told me as children and her and her sisters were used as referees for their parents arguing and forced to sit on the chair and listen in case one of them 'lied' the kids could back the other up.
I'm finding all this horrifying but even without the childhood trauma, aibu in thinking that the mother should piss off and find someone else to talk to?
