A rant- I am livid

[thefedupgorilla]

just want a rant as im upset.

on holiday with my inlaws who im very close to. they are doting grandparents but my father in law just smacked my 2 year old. my son attempted to kick my elder son. before I could act my father in law smacked my younger son. I am livid. my son is okay but upset. I am very angry. I do not smack my children

OP I just want to reiterate what a couple of others have said - you're doing a brilliant job of protecting your child, when the costs emotionally are high. You are prioritising your child's needs totally above your own, and I take my hat off to you.

Thank you everyone for all your support.

We got home yesterday. My children are happy to be home and are calm. Dp says mil wants to talk with fil however it has gone past that in terms of rectifying this.

Is there a middle ground of protecting your son and keeping the close relationship he had with his doting grandparents?

I dont know. I think for now everyone needs space away from eachother and I need to calm down as I am very angry.

I am willing to talk to in laws again but no contact for fil. One thing I cannot question is fil loves the kids. Right now my priority is to protect the kids and that means fil is not around them.
