Like many I have a very strained relationship with my in-laws. This is due to favouritism amongst their children, toxic behaviour and constant passive aggressive comments.
I’m at a point I just have such a low tolerance for their behaviour. Have tried to raise the issue but met with gaslighting and tears and telling us we are over sensitive and being dramatic.
I just stay quiet , as I can’t face the fall out I have when I’ve dared to say anything.
I have a young child , and they do really love them. I haven’t seen them exhibit any toxic behaviour with my ex but any family event leaves me reeling.
Going Nc isn’t an option for various reasons however we have gone LC. I only have one and dont think k can have more. I worry that my child will miss out relationships with Aunty’s and uncle and cousins especially being an only child.
Many will say why would you want your child to be around people like that.
It’s true but they aren’t like that with the kids. I feel I need to limit contact for my own MH. My husband has been supportive and stood up for us both, but his siblings and parents just don’t accept that their behaviour is unacceptable.
For those of you who have been in this position and whose children have grown up, how did this work out? Do you regret going LC? Do I just suck it up for the sake of my child.
