I know there’s a lot of threads about her but Im asking for a personal reasons i find myself in a very very similar position to her (but milded down due to in laws not being royalty but in their heads they think they are and surroundings respects them as if they are Due t extreme wealth )... and I’m making many blunders in life trying to maintain my marriage and finding it mentally a struggle..
I am wondering if say, you were in Meghan’s position.. same family as hers, same in laws, similar background clashes and similar criticism... what would you do???
I strongly relate and I wonder whether I’m a rare case or is it because her position as a daughter in law is jusT relatable.
Plz don’t be mean it’s not in my head :
1- my father sold me out and didn’t want to come to my wedding as parents are divorced and father is attention seeking
2- in laws are millionaires and think I’m a tramp
3- they were forcing me to live in their “mansion” and I decided to move out and I’m being called “divisive”.
4- I’ve had every bit of my family scrutinised but them
5- I was extremely successful and finding it hard that my identity now revolves around my in laws as if they made me into something and I was nothing before. Which is something they’re propagating.
6- my surrounding hails my in laws as perfect heroes and so if ever I had a conflict with them I would have my entire support network go against me... even if it was their fault.. which they know very well and take advantage of.
I’m not trying to compare my life to a princess.. I’m not even a royalist but I’m really thankful for Meghan opening up as it’s giving me words to express my own grief and my DH has finally acknowledged the problem and when he read meghans story on the tabloids he actually came to me and said that he feels I’m in a similar position so can’t be in my head.
Oh yeh, I forgot to say, I lost most of my personal support network because when I turned miserable and suffered they seem to have the attitude that I should be grateful for what I have and are mostly filled with envy because of the wealth I walked into... but deep down I actually had to pay for it with my mental health and happiness and I would give it all up for a happy peaceful simple life...
So what would you do if you had similar circumstances to Meghan??
