[quote=Anonymous]I get it OP. I had a huge blowout with SIL on the night before my mother's funeral; there were a lot of underlying issues, but for various reasons it felt like she was trying to take over the event. It got pretty ugly. I don't recommend that! We had a frosty relationship for a while and reconciled a year or so later. Keep reminding yourself about what really matters here: your dad. Let every other thing roll off you right now, and try not to stew in resentment. Your husband isn't trying to disregard your grief, nor is his father; they're just in their own rough place right now. Everything will get better with time. Sounds silly but it's true. My SIL did something recently that reminded me of the funeral episode, and I had to consciously tell myself: nothing she does takes away anything from me. And getting angry at my SIL over what is (at this point) clearly a totally unintentional slight doesn't make me feel any less sad about losing my mother.[/quote]
