MIL Report

DD

Sounds like an interesting visit, I am glad it was shortened!

Wow just wow.

Yeah, it was a weird/stressful visit. I think we tried to make the best of it, but it just was a mess. She offered numerous times to babysit for us, and I was just like...no.

There are so many issues at play in DH's family and especially with MIL; I think this time, her insecurities really ruined everything. It's too bad, because I think at the core of it, she is a nice, well-meaning woman, and she truly did want to help. She just can't, you know?

She sounds obnoxious in a clueless way like my MIL. Except for the part about the abuse being "not his fault." Obviously I don't know the whole story...but that part is blowing my mind.

That's the most I know about the story. DH doesn't talk about it much. There is certainly a lack of awareness, among many, many other things.
