my husband has zero photos from his childhood. MIL had plenty of photos of his older brother. my husband was also sent to a boarding school and his brother was not.

hey. is my story not interesting to anyone?

Honestly… not really. You’ve told us there’s a huge backstory of a horrible family. What more do you want people to say? What’s the point in anyone theorising when you’re the one with the information?

What are you actually wanting to get from this thread? Is your husband looking to you for support and you don’t know how to give it?

You don’t really know what lay beneath the behaviour- she could have had post natal depression and failed to bond, been raped, all sorts of things.

I do think boarding school is better than remaining with an abusive parent. My brother and sister had better mental health a a result of spending 11-16 away from home.

Hi @JazbayGrapes
Yes of course that's an awful way to treat a child.
Zero photos if them as a child so no record of childhood growing up and essentially being sent away for someone else to parent their child.
Disgusting.

huge back story that it was a horrid family. When MIL died i got to meet a lot of them and they were most unpleasant people except one sister.

I would assume that there is a huge backstory.

I agree on the info given awful.😞 is there a difference in father?
