Here's what I learned. Worrying about something has no affect. None. All it does is use up energy better spent on you.
Took me a long time to figure that out. I was a world class worrier. Got a medal in it.
The thing is that you have no control over anyone else. What your h says to your inlaws. What they say. What they think about the ow.
This is what I have learned. Either people know who I am of they dont. If they choose to believe something that isnt true, well, then they dont know me and that is their problem and their loss.
So, I am thinking that you have enough to worry about without worrying about that stuff.
Doesnt serve you well. Doesnt help the sitch. Doesnt change a thing. What is going to happen, is going to happen. Best to let all that go.
You find you. You figure out you. Leave everyone else to themselves.
Put that stuff out of your head. That gives others control. Take it back.
