Would you feel justified in cancelling at short notice a trip to see your in laws (without your DP/DH) who live abroad because you were suffering with stress and depression?
DH works away, they haven't seen DC since before Christmas (but could have come to see us). I'm taking DC to see them on my own because I want DC to have good relation with GPs. They are nice people but perhaps a bit lax in keeping up contact with us. (I ring them to update on DC etc, they don't seem to ring us much though). I'm not complaining so much I guess I just feel like I'm doing all the running around keeping the relationship up.
I'm starting to go downhill with my mental health, lots of changes including loss of closest friend who has moved abroad with work. Not many friends and no relations nearby, been struggling with coping with parenting in the absence of DH.
Flight is tomorrow, can feel myself going off the rails with stress, really don't want to go at all, thinking of crying off and maybe going to my folks for a while (who are v. supportive).
I can't tell if I am being crazy or not. Feel embarrassed, what the hell do I say to PILs?
