Ok, so spent the evening with MIL last night, and BIL joined us a bit later. Was a good night, all in all, but it's quite obvious that now my stress levels on the rise. This is when I need to stand up and be strong. GOT TO HANDLE IT. After about an hour of letting MIL hold the baby etc, the phone rand and lo and behold it was WH. I was shocked, and he sounded breathy (nervous). We spoke 2 words (Hello/Hello/Who is it?/It's WH/Do you want to speak to your mother?/Yes) before I passed the phone over. Had to go to bathroom and deep breathe for a few mins. Definite panic. Was upset he still gets to me this bad! It was hard to go on talking with MIL with the big elephant in the room , and I became a bit teary and said "I don't ever want to hear H's name again"....and of course we then spent about half an hour talking about the sitch. She claims to have not really talked to him for weeks, to not know the state of the sitch only to say that she gathered things are worse than ever, and that she is shocked that WH could go overseas only 4 or so weeks after baby was born and not enquire after her. I know I wasn't supposed to get into it, but I said I am still extremely shocked and disgusted, especially for the baby's sake, and I just cannot understand the lack of ethics displayed by WH in all of this. She pretty much agreed.
Going over to see her again today with the baby. Just don't want to be doing this every day for weeks on end because so much contact with inlaws, even if they are very supportive and I love them (esp BIL), it hurts, you know?
