[quote=Anonymous]I suffered infertility for years while my friends around me had babies.  I am typically an upbeat person and not prone to being emotional and crying.  There were days that the mere sight of a baby or a conversation with or about a pregnant women would make me feel like I was going to lose control and cry.  That's how raw my emotions were.  It wasn't every day, but after a failed procedure and in the low points, yes I barely had control over my emotions.  And I don't want to cry all the time in front of people or at inappropriate moments.  Who does?

I told no one what I was going through.  Because I didn't want to talk about it. I knew I wouldn't be able to talk about it without crying.

All that said, I did not cut off relationships and I did my best to show up for people and be around their children and 80 percent of the time, I did it with a smile on my face and maybe 20 percent of the time, I hid in my house and gave myself a pass because I knew I couldn't do it.

I guess my point is, your SIL might be doing the best she can.  Sounds like she could have done better, for sure.  But what does it cost you to just let it go and be the bigger person and have some compassion?  Nothing.[/quote]
