Wedding of a niece is coming up in March. MIL, SIL and Brother-in-law from hell will be there
by katya on 03/20 @ 4:06pmHusband of almost 32 years and I will be attending wedding next month. Sadly he recently had another episode of severe and very serious depression for which I was ( as usual) blamed. This is his 4th or 5th episode in 25 years – I have sort of lost count. The pattern is always the same; he gets ill I get abusive phone calls and letters.
I want to know how I should handle this wedding. The SIL is the mother of the bride. The rest of the coven will be there of course.
My plan is to go looking the best I can and be excruciatingly polite.
Trouble is Husband is too un-assertive to stand up for himself or me.
Advice very welcome!

Ummm, pull up your iron-clad battle panties and stand up for yourself? How in the world can you be blamed for your husband’s chemical imbalance? If he has had bouts of depression before, he needs to realize he needs his medications to cope. There isn’t any stigma to most people about depression these days….most intelligent people know it is a physical malady. Hang up on the calls and return the letters and remember your IN-LAWS are having trouble staying tightly wrapped themselves.
As to the wedding, Go have a good time and be nice to the newlyweds. You have to pity the groom…HE is getting the in-laws from hell now! Ignore your SIL and BIL after the reception line, eat and be merry!
what the f**k? Just because these animals are his family does not mean that you can’t call the cops on them. You said : “The pattern is always the same; he gets ill I get abusive phone calls and letters.” I just can’t believe this. Exactly how long have you been putting up with this sh*t? What is your husband doing about it? What has he done in the past? I too would be depressed if I came from a family who made abusive phone calls and sent abusive letters. Is he on meds? Has he gotton counselling? I wouldn’t even bother associating with these people ever again and would be looking to move far far far away from them. Maybe a move would do you both good.
