Moved up to be nearer DHs family years ago. Didn’t really want to leave my family as we’re all quite close but DHs Mental health was bad were we lived and his family thought it’d help him living nearer them and in a new area and to that degree they were right DH got better.
Years later and I seriously regret it. None of his family make an effort, it was DCs birthday a few weeks ago didn’t expect anything off anyone but would of been nice for them to say happy birthday to my child!
Both SILs forgot, one messaged the next day and the other didn’t bother at all. PILs didn’t make an effort either (didn’t make an effort on other DCs birthday last year too) yet when it’s the other children’s birthdays they always make a big fuss. It’s not just that it’s tons of little things building up to a bigger picture of they simply don’t give a shit. I’m absolutely miserable, I haven’t seen my own family for 6 months and will probably be another 6-9 before we can see them again!
AIBU to want to move back after lockdown is finished and tell ILs they had their chance and well and truly fucking blew it even though DH might struggle with his MH if we moved back?
