One of my sisters in law rang me last night, immediately I answered the phone it was obvious she had been drinking, at first we were talking about a weekend away we were planning with 2 other SiL but then she said that I was lucky and could do a lot more now I was a widow. I replied that there was not one single way in which my life was better without my DH in my life and hung up.
She has done this before with her sisters, saying things which cause upset after she has been drinking (one of his sisters partners refuses to have her in the house after she upset him). I know if I speak to her today she will have no recollection of what she said. I was really upset but should I just try to forget it or raise it with her and let her know how I feel.
I know she has a drinking problem and her sisters are trying to help her with that. I wouldn't normally have answered the phone but I was expecting a call from my brother as my mother is unwell at the moment.
Things you find stressful that other people don't notice.
