is there anyone on the forum who has to deal with a situation of conflict with the in-laws? my in-laws and my own family aren't on good terms and it's absolute hell. while i never try to take sides, my husband is always siding with his family, even when they are obviously wrong. we tend to argue about this a lot, it's so frustrating because he never budges from his stand and i always end up feeling misunderstood and alienated. plus i have gone through some emotionally traumatising phases lately... and have become very vulnerable emotionally. so my reactions are no more what they used to be... these days, i tend to react with tears and helplessness.

sometimes when we talk about our family issues, or rather the issues i have with his family (coz he doesn't interact with my family, so there are no possible issues), i feel he says he understands and sympathises only to get me to get over it and move on to another subject as quickly as possible. and that hurts even more.

but then i just bottle everything up inside, but i know that isn't good either.
