[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 521120, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]I'm so sorry you're being overwhelmed by all this! When H's dad died last summer, H was miserable to be around. He just internalized a lot of his worries, sadness and concerns for his mom. Actually, he was downright mean at times (I believe I posted about it quite frequently). I had to detach from it quietly. I was a support, but I tried REALLY hard not to take it personally, which was very difficult at times. His stress added stress to everyone else. easy child was snappy, I was snappy, there was a generalized level of discord in our home. And it took a while for it to subside. Expecting that can be helpful for you. Find an outlet, do little outings to take a break (heck I loved to go food shopping two towns over just for the drive, something I normally hate!), meet a friend for coffee, go to the movies alone or with Duckie or even H. The IL's need to settle their own business - it's not up to you. When they bombard you or crash your home, make an escape plan for yourself and let H deal with them. Hugs~[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
