[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 581728, member: 84"] Right now, hon, you need to worry about yourself and your immediate family. I tend to agree with busy on this. She was most likely wanting some attention and it backfired horribly on her. Happens. The thing is with people who are like this? Most people figure it out in short order and take whatever they have to say with a grain of salt. I'm doubtful mother in law meant a word of what she said. Now she is hurting because she hurt you when she didn't mean to and she can't fix it. Natural consequences. Perhaps at some later time when you're past treatment and well and strong again you two can mend the relationship to some extent. (I'd tell her as much) But right now you have more important things to focus on. As for your husband, this can be a hard thing to learn about one's own mother, but odds are it's a long standing pattern of behavior and if he looks back over his past with new insight he'll see evidence of it and not take it quite so to heart. Focus on getting better. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
