My ex husband and I have decided to get back together.

I've had a shit 18 months with multiple suicide attempts, 7 psych hospital admissions (I've spent pretty 14 of the last 18 months in hospital in some form) I have 2 children with him and he's obviously had to become the resident parent. I acknowledge its been really tough for him and he has honestly done an amazing job. e

He lent on his family alot during this time, and they decided i was completely abandoning my family, rather then seeing at as i was extremely mentally unwell. Because of this my husbands family don't like me, I've tried hard with them for the whole time, sending them cards/presents for occasions, messaging them occasionally.

They've now told my husband that I'm no longer welcome in their house and have offered a payment for me to go back to my home country and leave my kids and husband behind.

I'm absolutely gutted, even when I was in hospital I was calling the kids often and would still see them at least once a week (I wasn't in a hospital where I live which made it hard to see them more then that)

So would I be unreasonable to just go completely no contact with them?

Haven’t they already gone no contact with you?
Of course you’re not unreasonable.
Good luck with your future health.

I was the child in this situation. I think your focus should be on them right now, not a rift with your husband's family. Please remember that they will need nearly as much support as you will following your suicide attempts. I hope that your mental health continues to improve and you are able to move forward.

They've still been replying to my messages and brought me presents for xmas/birthday.

The children are young enough that they don't know what happened and I had escorted leave with my husband throughout my psych stays so never saw them at the hospital they just thought it was mummy's house.

But they do have loads of support and the school are aware of everything that's gone on with me
