Long story short: DH's Nanna is 96, she is very frail and lives in a home just round the corner from us and has done for about 6 years. MIL lives in Spain,been there about 40 years, Nanna used to live there too, but came back for health and family reasons 10 years ago. MIL just doesn't do responsibility, never has. She palmed DH off on Nanna when he was growing up as often as she could, always chose relationships over DH and her DGC. She has come to the UK for Easter with the new partner, and is moving around visiting his family (here for 2 weeks)
coming here for 48 hours before flying home. Nanna misses MIL so much, she's been feeling a bit poorly and down recently and would have loved to have seen MIL for Easter. I found out today that MIL is spending this
weekend an hours drive away and couldn't be
bothered to come and see her Mum and my DH who has recently been diagnosed with MS!
I am so incredibly fucked off with her on Nanna's and DH's behalf!!! The bloody woman always bleats on about how sad it is that she doesn't see more of her family! Surely at 96 everyday with Nanna is precious and Easter is a family time? I have to see her next weekend and after 23 years of keeping my mouth shut, I so want to say something!!! Should I just shut up in case it upsets Nanna?
