Despite my positivity in previous posts I have to admit I'm a fraud. I'm really struggling to help my mil.
Last night was really the last straw. My daughter and teenage nephew were round at my mil playing games as they quite often do. My mum in law fell really badly on a metal bed frame and as a result has hurt her back.
My husband and I arrived just after this and my husbands brother turned up at the same time to collect our kids.
Mil was screaming ( as she often does when hurt). My bil gave her some painkillers and left saying we've got to get home. My husband then said the same but I thought we should take her somewhere to get checked out.
I have a full time job (working away) and a 5 yr old to look after. I didn't want to leave her but my husband said she's being dramatic. I felt so guilty so I phoned her sister to see if she could sit with her, which thankfully they did.
I can't believe how selfish my husband and his brother are and they don't fully understand the situation.
I've phoned her this morning and she's still in pain but in working 100 miles away.
She thinks she hurt her back gardening and doesn't remember the fall.
Not looking for advice just ranting and wanted to offer some reality to my previous rosy postings. Arrrgggh!
