My DS has been going through a really bad time. He's suffering from severe depression and has been having a really hard time. My family have never really helped him in any way.
Recently he met a woman online. He asked my sister to put them up whilst they were in the London (the first time he and this woman would have met- he was looking forward to it). It was hard for him to ask my sister as he doesn't see her or her kids often (maybe once a year). My sister is younger than me with young children and she made up some exuse not to have them stay with her.
Unfortunetly that relationship with the woman he met online didn't work out. They didn't meet in the end because she dumped him for someone else she'd met on line, he was devastated.
Now he has met someone new. He asked my sister again if he and his girlfriend could stay. He is in desperate need of a break and he and his girlfriend could really enjoy being away together.
My sister has said that whilst it would be fine to have him there it would be difficult for them to come as a couple as her kids (2 and 5) haven't met the girlfriend and she'd feel 'uncomfortable' with the kids going in to the frontroom (she doesn't have a spareroom) and playing etc whilst they were asleep/ together.
WTF!
I have always been so generous and kind to her kids and thought we had a good relationship and I am so hurt she has rejected my DS in this way.
I have told her this and said it hurts that she doesn't trust my DS. I have told her I am not speaking to her.
She say's she doesn't have the space (what room for one but not a couple
) and that because her kids use the frontroom to play in it would be difficult.
I just feel it's another example of my family happily taking from me and not giving to my children in any way.
AIBU.
