[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a tough one. As someone who dealt with infertility the thought of NEVER having a child can really wear on you. Also if she is doing IVF or other treatment the hormones can literally make some people crazy.

That said, you don’t need to take abuse from someone. I would try to be there for her however you can but it’s also fine to put a little distance between you. Maybe texting is easier than going out to eat, or just make yourself available every other month for a couple hours.

FWIW, my mom is a really negative person and complains about everything. Going to any restaurant with her is painful because something, actually many things, are wrong in her opinion. I just suck it up and have an extra glass of wine.[/quote]

I agree. It’s ok to put some distance between you and a very negative, toxic person, even though she is negative/toxic due to infertility beyond her control. You can be sympathetic to an extent without putting yourself through abuse.  [/quote]
