I have namechanged but I know about moldies, Terry Wogans cock and the bat Smile.

I have not spoken to MIL since she physically attacked me I had bruses on my neck and was forced to hit her to stop her DS was present as was DP who then made her leave, I have seen SIL when I was with my mum who ignored me, but today when I was shoping DP took DS to get me something for mothers day so I was just browsing in Tescos when I saw SIL I turned and walked the other way and down a aisle. After about 5mins she found me and was threatening to attack me and said I had no right to hit her mum. As she was getting very angry I called for my partner but he didnt hear. I had to show her and tell her I was pg but she just got angrier I started screaming and shouting back, my partner came and SILs MIL (lovely woman who did not get involved)took DS so he wouldnt see but kept in my sight, DP started shouting that he was not having his family attacking me, security came and we left straight away.

I am nervous SIL ob thought I was alone and I am worried this will happen again and now DPs family know I am pg they are going to cause problems.

Was there a reason you couldn't just walk away rather than having a screaming match in the middle of Tescos?

Or walk to the security desk?

I think I may know you. Were you on the Jeremy Vile show, last week?

You haven't mentioned involving the police, but it is of course an option. They would take you very seriously and you have witnesses and probably CCTV. Is this not a road you want to go down?

catinthehat2 · 02/04/2011 19:17

what specific area do you need advice on?
walking off & finding your family immediately if you are approached by an angry relative rather than engaging in argument, displaying your bump, roaring across the aisles for DP, then continuing to scream & shout?

My advice in this situtation would be " walk off & find your family"

Or just use the internet for a supermarket shop in future

I vauguely remember the previous thread about this, when the MIL attacked you, and I think we would need that too now to give balanced advice on how to go forwards.

Ideally the solution would be to all agree that you wont speak, but there will be no more confrontations between ANY of you, and as they are your partners family, then he really has to be the one to get this sorted out, as it is his mother and sister who seem to be violent lunatics.

Avoid places you think she will visit. Should this arise again, turn your back and walk away. If necessary, report to police.

Sorry x-posted I will give the back story now just on the phone a minute.

I won't comment until I've read the back story then.

Actually it is ok, SIL had not heard our side and after she calmed down has thought and decided to stay out of it, BIL was on the phone (who has remained neutral) and said SIL is now unsure as she has had two different stories and is not getting involved. Smile thanks all I know I should have walked away(which I did at first but I should have kept walking) but I was scared and wasnt thinking clearly. We just want to be left alone hopefully we will be now and any further problems and I will go to the police.

Thats a good update, :) I would say she owes you an apology, but at least you have no reason to fear her confronting you any further hopefully.
