To start a thread to bridge the gap...

[NotTakenUsername]

Just until OP wakes up and can start her own second thread to keep us updated... there are only 14 posts left on that other one!!

Post the link here when you do, OP!

What’s this in relation to?

The wine glass I imagine

I hope the poor op managed to get some sleep.

MIL sent you 11 Facebook messages OP?! Have you read any of them yet?

I really wish I hadn’t put a grin emoticon on the post. I was grinning at my cheekiness, not the content of the thread. Sorry op.

Better that OP starts a thread and you put the link to it here. So that the highlighted posts are hers

That’s the hope once she comes back Moggy.

What thread is that? Can somebody post a link please?

this one

I hope you get time to read all these responses OP!

The important thing to communicate to the ILs is that this isn't about the wineglass itself. It's that this whole incident has shown what their true values are and you don't want your child brought up in that kind of toxic environment.

Direct response to original thread:
I'm so sorry you are going through this OP. It is so hard to find out that people you thought were generally good and kind, that you liked and thought liked you turn out to be so deceitful/not at all who you thought they were. It can make you doubt yourself so much. Stick close to your DH and support him as he's supporting you. Let everything else wash over you as much as you can. You're growing a person, so your own health must be your first concern right now.

Thank you Penguin!

@Zxyz my ILS are like this. No “bubbling “ issues. They probably think this is
“Normal”.

Hope OP finds this thread.

I'm agog to know what's in the 11 messages.

DH needs to park the car by the gates and just post the keys in the post box.

With regards to the 'don't ask for anything else' comment ... that's something you say to a child. I'd be holding a grudge about all this shit for the rest of my life. PIL would have to work fucking hard to get me back onside.

for DH. He's going through a painful time accepting his 'hero' father is a cold hard bastard.

Wouldn’t it have made sense to put some reference to the original in the thread title?

@SoupDragon I had no intention on carrying on the original thread - just wanted a bridge as the other thread was almost full (and now is).

It’s not my story.

Yes, but saying what gap you are bridging would help people find it.

It was more for the people who were on the original thread, but a pp has shared a link anyway in the first few posts so I’m a bit unsure of what the point of your post is.

WINE GLASS THREAD plus a link to original in the text would have been good.

But never mind NotTaken No one else bothered after all!

It was more for the people who were on the original thread

Yes, I know that.

How were they meant to know that this thread was about the glass though? You didn’t mention it at all!

I really didn’t want to be disrespectful to op. As soon as she rejoins I hope she will start a WINE GLASS THREAD CONTINUED thread, and share the link here.

It’s not my place to continue her thread.

SoupDragon I posted a link on the original thread.

Personally, I am hoping the glass is delivered by one of the shittier couriers and they lob it over th gates.

I'd leave it on the drivers seat of the car in a tea towel or something and hope FIL sits on it ...
