Hi, just wanting a bit of advise because I feel gaslighted and unsupported by my partner.
We have a son together who is 20 months old. Since he was born I have always asked MIL to have our son from time to time. She has no time for him but she has her granddaughter 3 times a week all day and never invites him along.
its got to the point that if I ask my partner to ask his mum to have him, he gets frustrated and annoyed with me. So I stopped asking.
she says she has no time until her granddaughter is in full time nursery in August. But my son will also b starting full time nursery then.
my partner thinks she should have him in august, but the boy doesn’t know her and cries if she tries to pick him up.
it’s crazy cuz when I bring this up with my partner he says I stop her from seeing him which has never been the case.
please note I have two other kids which my partners family do not bother with, they don’t even get gifts at birthday/Christmas.
my partner has to take our son to see his family at Christmas so they can spoil him and leave my girls out. And he is unwilling to ask that my girls are included.
my partner is always defensive of his family and blames me that they don’t see him. We just go round in circles.
Any advise is welcome, thank you.
