How do I cope with an extremely matriarchal SIL? She spreads gossip to all her friends. What she doesn’t know she makes up. She is really nasty when talking about her son’s partner (who is a friend of mine and very nice). SIL just doesn’t know where to draw the line. She seems to me to be very sad, she lost a daughter to CF a long time ago and one of her babies only lived a few days. She should be a mum of 3 but is mum of 1.
Relatives use this as an excuse for her behaviour and they tiptoe round her which just fuels her controlling behaviour. I could write a book. Just fed up with her. I have had a lot of sadness in my life too but I try to be nice and approachable, sociable etc. What to do? I really don’t want her in my life but I don’t want to make things difficult for my husband. She is his sister after all.
To go through chemo therapy or choose not to?
Recommendations please, for a stopover on the way to Loch Tay
