[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a newlywed my inlaws flipped out when I cancelled a visit for a party they were throwing because I was so stomach sick I could not keep anything down. They insisted DH come and he did and he apparently was a carrier. He ended up sick there and got everyone sick and up until anyone had a symptoms they insisted I was faking it.

My own mother flipped out that I didn't do anything for her for her birthday because I was too busy in the emergency room with her granddaughter. I did not sleep the entire time she was hospitalized. I told my mother all of this. The day of her birthday I got a hostile text. I didn't know what day it was, what time it was or where i was because I had caught an illness at the hospital and  I was disoriented and burnedout. My daughter was home, but still had to be monitored so we were not out of the woods and all my mother could think about was herself. No, I hope my grandaughter is OK and I hope you are holding up OK. Just, a vent about what A terrible daughter I was and how hurt she is.

My husband and I have a close bond in part because we come from people who lack basic empathy and compassion.[/quote]

PP, I am so sorry. You are not alone with extended family like this. A version of this has happened with my mother and with my DHs parents various times in the last 15 years. I get it.[/quote]
