[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. FIL was 84 and and eventhough it’s been 10 months, I don’t think DH has fully processed it as all of my inlaws’ affairs (MIL is well off but financial illiterate) have fallen to him as we live locally and other siblings have a troubled relationship with her and live a 1-2 hr plane ride away.

He has also been slammed at work due to geo-political changes. He has been working 12-14 h days, 6 days a week and I suspect that is also being used as a coping mechanism so that he doesn’t have to deal with his feelings.

I had told him he could skip out of our family vacation to celebrate the milestone birthday but he insisted he wanted to join (not only because he gets along well with my parents and brother) but also because he said he really needs a mental break. He explained this to her when she started freaking out but she called him inconsiderate and selfish.

Your husband needs a mental break too. Forgive everyone right now including your own family. Go on your holiday and enjoy it. If she apologies, accept with grace. Don’t blame anyone including yourself.[/quote]
