Am I Wrong for Feeling Hurt My MIL Excluded My Daughter for My SIL?
Grief, empathy, and boundaries collide in this charged situation. The OP’s husband has a loving family, but her sister-in-law, Ashley, has been embroiled in a fertility battle for a long time. Faced with these trials, OP’s mother-in-law (MIL) suggested that maybe they shouldn’t include OP and her newborn daughter for Thanksgiving and Christmas to prevent Ashley from feeling hurt. OP has very few family ties of her own, and the idea of not having her daughter form a bond with her in-laws was extremely painful to her. The consequences have resulted in angry associations and an awkward decision of whether to move on with the holidays.
