My in-laws are taking us away for a week abroad for FIL 70th birthday which involves my partners 2 children from his previous marriage, our 2 yr old and myself who is going to be 6 months pregnant when we go. I am unsure why his sister and their family are not going which would lessen the blow for me having to spend a week away in what is a situation I am dreading. If I wasn’t pregnant I’d be pacifying myself with alcohol to get through it but the whole set up makes me want to not go. We will
have the 7yr old from his previous marriage on the sofa bed in the apartment, the 2yr old likely in the bed with us. It’s the last week of the summer term so I go back to work the day after and it’s consuming my thoughts and ruining my summer break if I’m honest. I went to the GP last week to increase my antidepressants as I just don’t feel I’m coping well as it is. We have differing tastes in food so eating out as we are SC is going to be another anxiety ( I’m health conscious and like to try foods they are more fried and British) as they are paying for it I feel it’s also going to be dictated by them. I didn’t get asked if I wanted to go it was assumed I would want a free holiday.
