Anxiety is back! Any tools deal with inlaws?
My inlaws are killing me it feels like. Dont know what to do. Are there any good tools to use? Last time i told them about unannounced drop ins they were so offended and quit coming over, my 4 kids were sad but they blamed me. Just an example of the damned if i do damned if i dont situation. I feel as if im helpless.
What is your main worry?
That i have no say in my house. If i speak up MIL storms out and that upsets kids and wife. If i let her control my household then i get pushed around. She wrecks my anxiety. Example she told my wife how she could be a better parent. Bypassed her went to my step dauggters father told him what he needed to do. He told her to pound sand. Then she told my wife to not let dad see daughter. Shes overstepping in my opinion. Always feel like im taking a test being judged because im not doing what they want. Its like they are offended we dont need them for anything outside of just being a family.
I know exactly how you feel about anxiety, my in-laws are exact opposite of my family, I married an extroverted Latin women with a huge family. I’m an only child with no family and an introvert. So you know I’ve experienced lots of anxiety, Happy to connect and chat with you. Stay strong!!!
