Sorry if this is a bit long but need to get it off my chest. 2 and 1/2 years ago I moved to a one bedroom apartment in SIL and DDs house.
For the last year SIL has hardly spoken to me. No argument or anything.
I look after DGS age 3 nearly everyday, from the past 15 days he has stayed here 9 nights and been to visit everyday for at least 4 hours a day.
I am disabled and in constant pain.
I moved back into the city from a village on outskirts where I had a lot of friends, in this area although I am near my Church I do not really know anyone around. I am unable to use public transport and though I live in a lively area of the city I don't really get the chance to benefit from it.
I had a blazing row with DD on Thursday evening she arrived at 19.00 to collect DGS, supposed to be 15.00. A friends Mother had died and he and SIL were in a right state, SIL grieving for his own Mother who died 21 years ago. I was fed up and told her he should get on with his life instead of forcing her and DGS to live with her ghost, 'don't touch a glass as it had been his Mothers, not buying new furniture as everything was his Mothers, using a tiny old washing machine, he gave me a hard time for pruning the roses in the garden, it had never been touched, for 19 years, it is now at least a safe place for DGS to play. I would qualify for sheltered housing here but that could be anywhere in Belguim as I would be government funded i would not have a choice just have to take what i was offered. I also do not want to move away from DD and DGS as they are all I have. I really feel for DD as she is between a rock and a hard place. Thanks folks I really needed to get this off my chest.
