The SIL and BIL strike again.
The same SIL and BIL who accepted M at the beginning of November have decided our family and Hubby's parents are in the wrong and we will not see them for Christmas. Or ever.
Long story short, apparently the wrong side won the election and because we voted for the wrong side they were going to cut us all off. They called my in-laws and told them not to expect them for Thanksgiving and that they would not see them for Christmas because my FIL got into it with my BIL at one of the kids basketball games. A week later my BIL apologized and the in laws were back to going to the kids games and events. Well, my SIL did not like that. She decided to go nuclear. She texted my MIL a nasty message saying that she had seen M on FB and then sent my MIL M's appeal paperwork that she had found online. Accusing my in-laws of lying to them and submitting their children to M. And that they (the in-laws) knew and that they should have told them. And that the in-laws were at fault and they would not be allowed to see the kids. It went on quite a bit and was very nasty.
She called Hubby in a bad way. Distraught and not knowing what to do.
My MIL has adult onset CF. She is not doing well right now. She is resistant to most antibiotics and needs to have them intravenously when it gets this bad. She told Hubby that there was no point to getting them anymore.
Hubby messaged his brother and wife yesterday to throw himself on the sword. Taking blame and trying to convince them that my in-laws had knew nothing. Which they did not. None of us did.
It has gotten nasty. Why would my SIL decide to go searching for M's case again? She is just crazed enough that this is her way of getting back at my in-laws. This is all she has. This is her silver bullet. We voted the wrong way.
We are taking defensive measures on our own. We have all blocked her and my BIL on FB and I have blocked them from our business page. I think she could get M kicked off FB. But if she goes after the business there will be a problem.
I don't know what else to do. We have already decided we are done with them. They will NOT destroy my family! I do hope they forgive my in-laws.
I am so sorry to hear about this and this is horrible for your MIL. CF is a nightmare, and you have all been through so much. In my family there are both parties. My husband and I are on different sides, but I would never ever stop caring and loving him over politics. My mother-in-law is also ill and I would never say or do anything to upset her. At this time of year when we all prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, I cannot understand how people who call themselves Christians can act live this. Try and not let this ruin everything for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand it either. I have seen it online but really did not expect it would get this bad. I only hope they forgive my in-laws. We knew what M did would have repercussions for us but he is our son and we have forgiven him. Others can not. I understand but it does not make it easy. We will get through it like we always do. God will get us through it.
