[quote=Anonymous]Just want to send my best wishes to you, OP.  I too hope that you have an early stage and hope that you are able to post back here for support. My mom had breast cancer over 30 years ago and my grandma was just like your mom -- everything was always about her and my mom was always frustrated by my grandma. I do have to tell you though that my grandma rose to the occasion and was so there for my mom throughout everything. It completely changed their relationship and how everyone perceived my grandma. I hope your mom too will understand that this is about you, not her. If she does make it all about her, then I agree with the pp's that you need to be selfish and focus on yourself. It sounds like you have a great dh so he can run interference with his relatives and with your family, if necessary. Do not worry about your SIL replacing you.  My unmarried SIL who lives with my inlaws does the same thing with my kids and it annoys the heck out of me too so I completely understand. You have so much going on right now that I am so sorry that you have these family dynamics to worry about when they should be caring about you. I will be thinking about you.[/quote]
