[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for you for working on this OP. It sounds like your in laws don't understand that you're fighting an illness, your trying to get better, you're taking small steps but you'll just never be able to do what they want and they can't accept that. I'm sorry. That's just tough. I think your DH needs to sit them all down, tell them I'm only going to explain this once more and then ignore their outbursts, their pressure, their manipulation etc. good luck.[/quote]

OP: DH has been wonderful and extremely supportive.  He talked to them many times, every time they go "oh wow, that must be so tough for her" and then nothing.  Accusations, screaming matches, long e-mails to me and DH.  Even my kids understand and are kind and nice about it.  And they are teenagers, for Pete's sake.[/quote]

This doesn't make sense. In the last couple sentences of your OP, you said you thought everyone understood and everything was fine, but now you are saying there have long emails and screaming matches, repeated times of DH talking to them, and then more of the same.
You know what the deal is, you have a long history of this and still choose to only go to 1 event a year and put DH in the position of explaining over and over to them.
If you want to vent, by all means vent, but this is not a recent thing just about a beach trip.

Why should her DH or anyone have to repeatedly explain? They know this about OP. Accept it already.[/quote]

That's the point. And why is OP asking in her original point why her MIL flipped out about the beach weekend when there is obviously a much longer history with her attending 1 family event per year, not just refraining from the long weekend vacations [/quote]
