So my husband had had some deep rooted issues with his mum which have never been addressed ( he feels she takes his sisters side every time - he's the scape goat)
When our baby was born she wasn't supportive to us
I have a child from a previous relationship
We feel she left her out
She was ' obsessed ' with the baby in an unhealthy way, saying she missed her, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and had to go on anti depressants
She didn't seem in a good healthy way she used to come over unannounced, insisted on being there on my midwife apps, and bought lots of negativity about other family members
I never saw it when I was pregnant and we were always very close
I've had some counselling after a traumatic birth and she's helped me come to terms with it and my MIL has caused us some stress
When my husband tried to address his issues she breaks down, accused him of being angry , he isn't ) and talks about her other daughter ( his sister ) about what a hard time she is having and how selfish we are being
It's really quite off
We've tried and tried but he's now said he can't have a relationship with her but I just don't know if it's the best things - it's all very sad
There's so much to it but I've tried to summerrise as it's good to get an outside perspective
What should I do ? I've been supporting my husband as he is very much hurt and he's my priority as are my children but life is very short and I'm wondering what the next steps are
If any?
Thanks for reading and sorry it's so long winded x
