About 6 months ago my MIL instigated an argument basically saying that I was not taking care of her baby boy. DH had been going through a period of depression for a couple months that was very real and hard for both of us. For his privacy he had asked that we not let others (family) know what was happening. I was breaking under the strain of holding him together, so when she launched into her nonsense, I lost it and basically told her to f off. It escalated to her screaming at me, I tried to leave the room (in my own home ) and she grabbed me by my arms and jerked me back (it left bruises). I ran out of the house, I'm terrified of confrontation from a rough childhood but that's a different time and counseling session. Needless to say this led to a separation from my husband for a week or so because she lived right across the road.
It's been 6 months. We are good, he is better, we are happy.
Now we are expecting and she's all excited and making baby blankets. I never received an apology I got a "I'm sorry I put my hands on you, my intention was to help you calm down" WTF?!
I'm 27 years old I need to get over it but I don't know how. I cannot stand to be anywhere around her and don't trust her at all. Advice?
