[QUOTE="buddy, post: 581707, member: 12886"] First of all, the LAST THING you need is stress while fighting cancer! I realize this is painful for husband but in my humble opinion his sole job right now is to protect you and set clear boundaries with his mom. He can explain that he loves her but right now his wife and kids urgently need him and this cannot be about mother in law for even one minute. I think your feelings are your feelings. Not right or wrong. That had to be shocking. She could have been having a bad day but still....she owes you time to build back a relationship. And it probably won't be the same ever. husband can explain to her that you simply need to eliminate all conflict and lower stress so you can heal. That you want her in your family (for husband and kids sake but you don't need to say that) but she needs to understand that you were deeply hurt and felt betrayed. There will be a new normal, but for now could she please just be supportive of your family's need to get through this serious illness. Please lean on husband, explain that this is too much right now. Sending you boat loads of healing energy and love! Dee [/QUOTE]
