Mother vs mother-in-law
I really need help....
So my mother and mother-in-law dislike each alot.
I am use to that and I don't really care to be honest, but......
My mum is really sick right now and so I traveled from inner mid north rural Queensland to northern NSW to help her out as she is the carer for my autistic brother and her fiance who has had six strokes in 2 years leaving him left side paralysed and bowel and bladder incontinent NDIS was having trouble getting them placed in emergency respite because no one wanted to deal with poo. Anyway my mother-in-law told me that she doesn't care if my mother is on her death bed that I should not be going because NSW has bad fires and I have no right to be putting me and my son in danger and we should be saving our money. This was just about 10 minutes after being told my mother is in ICU, with 21% oxygen levels, a severe chest infection, fighting for breath because of asthma and the advanced beginning stages of emphysema. Then when my father-in-law drove us to the train in Brisbane she rounded on my 7 year old and tried to convince him to stay with them. He has never spent more than 1 night without me or his father and she wants him to stay there for at least a week maybe more. He said no but cried on the train cause now he thinks that she doesn't like him now cause he said no.
I know that my mum hasn't been much of a mum growing up and she has caused me alot of pain but she is still my mum and it makes me mad that my mother-in-law thinks that it is ok for her to bad mouth my mum and tell me that I shouldn't care.
My in laws have done alot for my little family since our son was born but it angers me that my mother-in-law looks down on my side of the family just because of our past.
