I think you did great, I wish my father had told me once that he was proud of me. 16 months of E4 for me
Have your in-laws always been like that? Have you considered talking to them about it? (When your child is not there)
Thanks for your kind words, @fab10
My in-laws and "their world," has always been much different than mine. In some ways, they're very giving and kind-hearted, but in others, they're some of the most selfish, hypocritical, and insensitive people I've ever met. It's been work (to put it mildly) trying my best to mesh into their world so we can all harmonize when we're together.
Sorry to hear you never heard, "I'm proud of you," from your dad. I hear of that in many families, and I don't get it. Very sad, indeed.
Feeling much better (emotionally) after sleeping. I might actually get through being around these people for breakfast and whatnot before leaving for home. As for dealing with what happened, that will be my wife's arena. She fiercely defends her family (meaning my in-laws), but when it comes to the kids, she'll put them first and take care of it. When she has a problem with my family, I handle it, and vice versa. We think that's the best way to keep everyone from killing each other.
