I’m so angry! Dh grandparents

dh grandparents have always favoured his sister. No idea why because she’s never worked, has done drugs etc where as my DH has worked his arse off, has a good job and has taken on my 2 dc like his own. We have one dc.

SIL moved back to our home town in December. Since then his grandparents have came down multiple times, but since weve been (8 years)here they came down 2ce to see us, we go upto there’s every 4-5 months. They live 4 hours away

anyway, we haven’t heard from SIL in months until this morning she rang my husband to tell him that they are 10 mins away from hers and they have arranged to come down to hers and take her shopping for house stuff and they are going back at 5pm and mentioned dh should pop in to see them.

they haven’t mentioned a thing to us. My guess is they didn’t want to see us.

we are the only ones who really bother with them, dh sent grandad a care package last eeek as he’s been unwell.

im actually so so so angry and upset that they couldn’t even take 30 mins out of their day to come and see at our youngest at least. She’s nearly 8 and loves them dearly but they don’t really know her.

I feel like I need to finally say something on the group chat because I am constantly biting my tongue.

my dh had abit of a mental health crisis 6 months ago and the last 6 months have been so difficult but none of them give a crap.

im so bloody angry.

She’s not worth any less love because she does drugs and your DH is not worth more love because he’s ‘good’. They are worth the same because they are grandchildren. Thats your issue rather than assigning value to people.
one of the most important people in the world to me died of alcoholism. She was worth everything

Op- it’s often the case that the least capable sibling is favoured.
i used to find this upsetting but now I have very little contact with my parent due to
meeting them with the same energy they offer. It feels liberating tbh- try it
