05/12 Sister-in-Law from Hell?

Quote From: kbm2008

No one has made an effort even to contact my husband following all of this.  It is not a big priority for him, because he agrees with me.  We have to look out for our son.  We cannot have him around unpredictable, rageaholic alcholics!

 

There's so much more to this story than anyone will ever know!  You couldn't even cover it in a week!

 

BTW, no one has ever approached me about the way I dress and claimed that it was a problem - they saved it for NATIONAL TV!  Does that seem fair?  When my husband and I decided the Greg's behavior was no longer safe for our child to be around, I went to his door, approached him personally and addressed the issue.  I let him know face to face that he was no longer welcome around our child or home until some changes were made.  Don't you think I deserved the same respect?

 

And for the pics - I was asked to send some in too.  But, I didn't go searching for every nasty photo I could find to make them look bad.  I have plenty I could have shared but didn't.  They want to take photos of me in a bathing suit on vacation, or whatever, to make their point (I don't know because I didn't look during the taping and the show hasn't aired here yet).  That's just kind of pathetic.  I have plenty of pics of Greg with a beer in hand a glazed look on his face - I didn't feel the need to share THOSE with the world!

It's not your role to approach your husband's family to discuss their behavior. This is your husband's role, and his role only. You have no business inserting yourself this personally into his family. Right or not, your biggest problem is knowing when not to stick your nose in their business. Yes, your child is the one affected, but this is the father's job. If it was someone on your side of the family with the issue, it would be up to you, and you only.

I wouldn't doubt if your in-laws would post comments on here acting like other people!  If that's the case, then they have NO RIGHT to bash you for so-called making fake appointments or whatever that was about.  I read in a prior post that you and your husband adopted your son.  Is that true?  If so, that is awesome!  You can't be a partying monster like they said and go through adopting a child.  Adoption is a beautiful act!  Hey- just because your BIL drinks doesn't mean you should keep your son away from him.  Now, if he gets drunk in front of your son, then that is totally different and you have every right as a mom to raise your son the way you feel.  Good for you for getting away from your wild friends.  When I gave my life to Christ that is exactly what I did, then I prayed for them.  You have to.  My moms in-laws (she is in her 20th year of her 2nd marriage) are the same way.  They dog her all of time.  Try to start trouble.  It's sad.  Good luck with everything.  Just let God lead you and stir you - you can't go wrong with Him!
