You’re amazing! You’re so unbelievably brave. Merry Bitchmas Shirt. I mean to think that all of this started earlier last month with the whole wedding venue horseshit……and then that family quickly showed you exactly what kind of crazy you were dealing with and what could’ve easily been your future…but you escaped! You’re out! You made it past the FOG and all the crazy bullshit! I don’t know how I missed your saga in real time! I only just saw this post, and I immediately llama’d through the whole thing (just like you predicted in the lettercol post).
What the hell does that mean?I’m really curious about something. I have a JAMIL, but she lives 2k miles away and we barely see her, so she has nearly zero effect on our lives. I enjoy reading this sub because I love all the support all the SILs and DILs receive here, and I feel more prepared for our infrequent encounters with my MIL. When your saga began and as it unfolded, you came here to seek the advice (and support) from men and women who had been in your shoes, and you actually took much of that advice, adjusted for your situation and applied it. It seems like you were so fortunate to have this sub from the get-go, as most of the JNMIL stories we get are from those years or decades into their relationships, and the rest of us get to learn from their current and past misery.
Merry Bitchmas Shirt, ladies, v-neck t-shirt, tank top.Thank you for that response. I hope the best for you, and you seem to be on the right track. And, when you decide to have another relationship, it seems you will be better prepared to visualize the strength and shine of his or her spine. And, maybe, just maybe, your xFH may see that he has an unhealthy relationship with his mother and works on it (for 5-10 years), and you may be just saved some innocent stranger from having a JNMIL at some point down the line. Hey, who knows. I really do wish him the best. I hope all three of them sort things out and find happiness. Maybe therapy will do them all good.
