[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've posted about this before OP. They aren't going to be the support you want them to be.[/quote] No, I don’t think I have, at least not this. [/quote] Unfortunately this is a common scenario. OP, I'm so sorry. A pp had a good quip regarding how your parent's illness is taking all of your focus right now. Your ILs are self-centered, and the only thing they care about is their family and friends. This may be blunt, but they don't consider you to be a full-fledged family member. Once you come to grips with this, things might get easier for you. Stop looking to them for any kind of emotional support. Set your boundaries and don't budge. No, you don't listen to them prattle on about the hardships of people you don't even know anymore. I hope your DH has his eyes wide open about them.[/quote]
