[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that you're overreacting. Find a therapist who can help you unpack your codependency. You are responsible for yourself - your actions, feelings, setting your boundaries, and stating your needs. You are not responsible for your mother's actions and you shouldn't be trying to control them - that's a big sign of codependency. Similarly, you're not responsible for your husband's feelings - he gets to decide if your mother's behavior hurts him and if so how he would like to respond. [/quote] Fair enough. I have not asked him if he cares that my mom ignored the death of his mother. He has mentioned that others have not acknowledged the loss. Fwiw, while my parents and ILs weren’t close, they were cordial and my ILs did travel 750 miles to an out of the way place for my father’s funeral a few years ago. [/quote]
