I received a really awful hurtful message from my d.i.l on Christmas Day saying it was obvious I loved my other sons children more than hers. She said her and my son had often talked about it and he agreed. The thing is I've often worried that one of my other children might feel like this, but not them. They've had the very very best of me. When I thought about it ( after I'd stopped sobbing) There's been more money lent and never given back to them, more time spent with their children. They've caused us more silent heartbreak than the others. They don't live locally now but did when their children were younger. We are never invited for Christmas but saw loads of photos on Facebook of her and her family. (I had to adjust my settings so I don't see them then it doesn't hurt) I've had other upsetting e-mail from her generally letting off steam about my son. I've never responded to them . This one felt like a personal attack and I was very upset. I saw my son after Christmas for a few hours and I've given him a rocket. I feel he still doesn't 'get it' and is more concerned that I shared my distress with my family and how that reflects on him and his wife. I don't want advice it'll be sorted one way or other but I just wondered if any of you have a child who feels like this. No matter how much you give they want more and more. I'm worn out with the pair of them if I'm honest. ?
