[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry; OP, both for your losses and that you were not supported by your MIL. 
But— Is that a cheap shot? It’s not true, but it’s also a pretty common belief, especially for older people. I’m assuming you think this is a shot at you and your success due to other things she’s said because this, by itself, seems like a misconception. [/quote]

I mean, to be obvious, when someone confesses to you that they are devastated for losing their much wanted son, I'll give you advice that the last thing that person wants to hear is that it is their fault. Especially when medical professionals disagree.

Fwiw - she didn't ask if I was working on my stress. I actually have a stress coach and have made substantial changes to my business to reduce my stress. But she didn't ask that. She was looking for an opportunity to be mean and found it.[/quote]

But saying stress is the cause is not the same as saying it's your fault. That's the leap I'm not understanding. I get that it's wrong, but why are you concluding that she says it's your fault you're under stress? Was there more to the comment?[/quote]

Yes there was much more to the comment and yes she made it very clear that **I** was the cause of my miscarriages. Even after I gave her the medical reasons I was not the cause of my miscarriages (I'm in the medical field).[/quote]
