Anxiety attacks

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
heres a pre"info" for you guys.
my MIL,FIL, BIL, they are all VERY different from the way i was brought up. they are boorish, rude, joking people. now joking is fine... but their jokes involve (IN FRONT OF GUESTS IN THEIR HOME) "my wife is so old and her boobs are saggy" (FIL). like hello, that is awful. and FIL calls chace (my son) , dumbass and doofus, not as much now bc we had a talk with him (and he had the all "oh i dont know why thats a problem, attitude"). anyways, we havent seen them in 3-4 weeks, and they live 2 min away from us, mostly bc chace and i have both been sick, and about 3 months ago, i started having breathing problems. it would get to the point where i felt like iw asnt getting enough air, or when i took deep breaths, my chest felt like it was tight. my husband thought it was bc maybe i wasnt working out/exercising, but im right on weight with my height so the doctor crossed that out. the doctor then asked me to describe more of wat happens n how it feels. he then said that the onlyh thing that he thinks it could be is anxiety attks. now im not rlly too sure on the whole pyschology thing, but i didnt believe it. but the 3-4 weeks going without seeing my in laws, my breathing improved about 95%. my doctor thinks that my in laws set my attks off.
anyways, heres to the point.
I had tlaked to a cousin of my husbands. and she was complaining how this family (husband's side, her "husband's" side) was very ... gossipy. i mean they gossip about EVERYTHING> everything about anything/anyone is EVERYBODY's business. so i thought, hey, shes a young mom like me so she's safe to talk to (and she hates to gossip), so i opened up to her about how there were things that MIL n FIL does that bugs me but i NEVER said i hated them. and i added how much they have helped us mentally n physically in the past n that i know how much they love their grandchild. anyways i guess the lil bitch ended up being a gossiper like the rest of the family, bc now my in laws said they heard that i hate them, that i was complaining how they never helped, that they are horrible grandparents (only thing i can think of that i said that was close to that was "they are inappropriate with chace sometiems"), and that they dont love chace. like WTH...... i'm so aggravated, n i was in tears this morning when my husband told me. then i told him that i was gonna call his parents, let them know my side (hello, its like the game of TELEPHONE. always different at the end than it was at the beginning) and he said i shouldnt bc they had asked him to not tell me!!! WHY would they say that, HELLO, we are MARRIED.and then they said that im alienating brody(husband) from them and that they only wanna see their son and not me or chace.
WHAT DO I DO
i wanna call that lil miss b***** and just ask her why she twisted my words n why she said anything when she declared howmuch she HATES to gossip
and i wanna call my in laws, let them know my side of the story, whether they believe it or not and then just lead on with my life
i'm so agitated.

SORRY LONG POST

Re: Anxiety attacks

OMG I would be sooooo mad......I am not sure what I would do in your shoes. Part of me wants to say that I would be phoning that little *itch up and ask her why the heck she did what she did....AND I would be phoning the Outlaws and tell them that is not at all what you had said and that she had twisted your words...

Even better would be to try and confront everyone with the backstabber around too so that she can shoulder the burdon and find out why she said the things she said1

Re: Anxiety attacks

i did call my MIL last night, and she ended up being very snotty, sarcastic when i was explaining things and she said i was rude when i called her rude for making the snotty "uh huh" noises and then she said, "uve got lots of problems with us? there are lots of things we dont like about u" n hung up
at this point
i do
not
care
if we dont see them//talk to them ever again. and thats wat im going to do. i didnt hate them before, i dont think i do even now, but i STRONGLY dislike them. wat 50 yr old ish grandma talks like that SOOO snotty attitude. thats wat i expect from a highschool drama queen.

Re: Anxiety attacks

I wouldn't have called and fed the drama. It sucks you had to learn you couldn't trust that woman in this way. =/

If you have to be around them at family events in the future I would just act like nothing had ever happened, be sweet and oblivious. There's obviously nothing you can do to help or change their poor behavior and immaturity.

Re: Anxiety attacks

Well, I certainly WOULD have called up that lying, scheming, conniving little WITCH and given her an earful, I can tell you!

As far as the in-laws (or are we calling them outlaws, now) are concerned, I would have called and tried to explain, as well. You did try and if they refuse to listen, then thats's their problem.

However, not wanting to see their grandchild, only their son, is just WRONG! If it were me (and this is becasue I KNOW how I am), I would be giving DH a choice. He need to talks to them and give them a choice - either they include your (his) child in family gatherings (and not treat him any differently than anyone else) or he tells them hasta la vista! "You don't see the rest of my family and accept them, then you don't see me either - we are a package deal!" And yeah, I actually did this to my in-laws when my DS was about 3 or so. They didn't see him for almost 6 months until they changed their tune. JMHO

Anyway, here are some hugs for having to put up with stuff like that!

Re: Anxiety attacks

yeah, my husband alled up his mom today n said she cant be rude to me like that, especially after everything she complains about, i suck up for. and she got all mad, and said some things and then husband said, we're sick of u guys really making it hard for us to live a happy life. we're done seeing you guys for awhile, probably forever.
and as much as it sucks my son cant have his biological grandparents, we have TONS of support outside the family who alrdy call themselves chace's grandparents
