Something to add to my above post. Parenting is a real sore spot for me. I have felt ganged up on by H and his mother ever since S was born. They have been very open with their disapproval of my relationship with S, constantly criticizing and accusing me of coddling my child. H knows the sore spot and continues to take jabs.
Thing is, I am no longer afraid to stand up for myself. I am no longer afraid to make H mad. I have no problem standing my ground and am DONE with their comments. It may not be helping my marriage, but again, I am no longer living with that fear anymore. It feels great to speak up for myself!
