Deck Oiling MIL – Her Bday

r/

I know everyone said don’t attend but I caved and did it for my husband. Our friends offered to babysit so it didn’t end up costing much and I managed to spend most of the day avoiding mil and sil. It was a lunch at a restaurant with about 25 people so ended up having nice people to chat to.

The only time it was unpleasant was when it was time to say goodbye and mil/sil were glaring at me. I stood back and let hubby say goodbye because I wasn’t about to go hug them

So it’s over. No reason to see them again until Christmas. Let’s see how hubby holds up his low contact promise. My mental and physical health has improved so much not seeing them. I have a chronic illness which causes fatigue and the anxiety of seeing them was worsening the fatigue. Now I have more energy and am so much happier overall. I’m not about to let it go so either hubby gets on board or we’ll have a problem

Thanks for listening to my whinging. It’s been a huge help for my mental health
