My mil has a breakdown when I was pregnant with dd (3) and she hasn't been right since.
For the majority if the past 3 years she's been extremely depressed and really has taken nothing to do with dd but loves ds (5) and will often request to see him but not his sister.
It's been 3 years of it now and I'm just drained. Things haven't been made easier by the fact dd is disabled and in a wheelchair. MIL will not even allow us to go near her with dd in the wheelchair as she finds it too much.
I think the issue really is her treatment of my youngest child and the fact she's making a difficult time for us even harder.
We unfortunately live next door on land that FIL gifted us. Is it even possible to go NC with family who live next door?
It's just got to the point where it's really affecting my mental health and I really feel at breaking point.
