[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-  Yes she did apologize and there was no funeral, as my mother made me vow not to have one, and this request was also in her will.  What I did do is send out a memorial book with pictures of her over the years, obituary, etc. to family and friends, including my MIL and SIL.

Thanks for the feedback.  If I am being ridiculous, I want to know, and maybe I am.  It just hurts so much to lose my mother and not have the support I expected to receive.  If I am being crazy, then I need to find a way to move forward, and it sounds like that is the consensus here.[/quote]

It's not ridiculous to be hurt by their behavior, but it is ridiculous to hold it against them.  Your MIL did what she thought was best at the time--and what she could handle at the time--and it sounds like she apologized.

Now you probably do need some space from them for a little while, but you need to find a way to let it go.  Be sure you're not taking your grief out through your reaction to your MIL's (or anyone's) behavior.

Is DH doing more at his parents house than he used too?  Is it a case where he's tackling a backlog of projects that got delayed because of your mother's illness?  Or just normal?  I think it's ok to ask him to be around for you a bit more, but not necessarily to specifically call out his parents.[/quote]
