My FIL died last week. There are only two DILs, me and the wife of my husband's brother. MIL could not stand the other DIL, long story, but mostly down to snobbishness. So MIL put an obituary/death notice in the local paper, and mentioned herself, the two sons, the two grandsons, but no DILs. She phoned my husband and said she would apologise to me for leaving me out, but she couldn't mention me and not the other DIL and there was no way she was putting HER name in. I've been married to husband for 20 years and was very fond of FIL, but it's as if I was just brushed under the carpet or something, left out just because of MIL's attitude towards the other DIL. The thing is, towards the end of of his life FIL was in a nursing home to give MIL some respite - and was cared for by the other DIL, who worked there! MIl said on the phone to my husband 'well, she didn't know your dad'. Even though the other DIL has been married to her son for 6 years. My question is this - AIBU to feel slighted and a bit cross?
