So a little over 2 weeks ago my 8YO son was admitted into hospital with symptoms of the 4 T's, it was quickly discovered he had Type 1 Diabetes.
My son had to stay in of course. My mum came to visit and helped out picking my eldest up from school, my MIL went to the chemist picking up prescriptions and was ringing to check in, as was my dad.
Although it deeply hurts me and my husband that his dad and step mum haven't bothered to even check in. After texting everyone to inform of his admission we got a message from FiL 2 days later saying "hope he's ok". Since then nothing... No visit, phone call, nothing.
Everyone else has constantly been checking in, friends family just being supportive. My mum and his mum were keen to learn how to give insulin and check glucose so they know how to do it for when they have him.
It hurts me that they cba with their grandson but it hurts me that they've not even bothered to ask how my husband and I are coping.
Our whole lives have been changed completely, it's alot to learn and it's bl00dy overwhelming.
Tbh, the relationship always felt one sided, if we didn't visit them we wouldn't see them. I've of a mind not to force the relationship. If they cared and wanted to be involved they'd ask.
I don't want to cause problems for my husband of course but I'm so upset and hurt that they just don't give a rats a....
Meanwhile they see their granddaughter every Thursday and have her overnight! If it was her in this situation they'd have been there.
