I cannot overstate the power of NC/LC of my MIL. It has been a couple months since she visited and a month since texts/phone communication, and I’m wondering why I didn’t do this sooner!
I have a suspicion that my husband has been fielding communications from her and any other family members and just not telling me because he knows how much it disturbs me. Rightfully so, as I pretty much went mental from the interactions with her. However I can’t help but be curious if she’s demanding more pictures of our baby boy and wondering what’s wrong with us because we aren’t reaching out like before.
My husband’s family is dysfunctional which I’ve just been learning. I had the suspicion I mentioned because we found out the MIL was asking my husband’s sister why she isn’t receiving pics and that there was a weird vibe etc when she was visiting us. It’s you lady. You’re the weirdo vibe!!!
Ugh. Just typing out my grievances about her makes me so angry. I can’t believe their (the in laws) behavior during my most vulnerable time. Luckily it didn’t take long at all for me to see how coocoo my in laws are and I’m glad I cut them loose because it’s been a massive relief. God knows there’s enough other stressors out there anyway, the last thing on my postpartum mind is that lady when I’m enjoying my new baby boy and life.

Would you be upset with your husband sharing information and photos about your child with them? Its great if he is protecting you from stress, but its important to be on the same page with boundaries for your child.
