To be annoyed at MIL always correcting my spelling

I'm dyslexic, quite badly. I struggle a lot with spelling and punctuation and using the right words. I also get my B and Ds mixed up, along with G and C.

She'll message me and she'll always correct all my spelling mistakes, I said a product name wrong yesterday and she sent the correct name in bold writing to correct me.

It's really getting me down, I'm currently pregnant so extra emotional and extra self conscious about things at the moment. I'm really trying but I just feel like I'm being picked apart. My husband says not to get upset about it but it's hard when it's something you've always been conscious of!

It's like they all think I'm stupid at times, she knows I'm dyslexic, she knows how much I struggle at times. It's definitely got worse since I've been pregnant too. I have a 1st in my degree, I've done well in school, college and university and I'm currently doing my masters but they don't seem to get that even people that do well in these things can still have these issues 🤷🏻‍♀️

AIBU to be so upset? I feel so silly

She would receive no more written messages from me - ever. I would tell DH he is communicating with her now.
