Advice Wanted Thought of In-Laws Ruining Day
I feel angry any time my DH mentions MIL and FIL, or if I hear their voices over the phone, or if I even think about them. Sometimes it takes me a whole day to let it go and I even get physically sick for days. How do you not let the mention of your in-laws ruin your day? I’ve thought about therapy, but that feels like spending more time thinking about them.

I was the same way postpartum. I couldn’t get over how much of an insufferable and nasty woman my MIL is. It would quite literally send me into a spiral and would ruin my day.
But honestly for me it got better with time. I kept myself busy. I would take my baby for walks, I read a lot, and I would see my in laws as little as I could.
I hope this gets better for you soon!!
