I Married the Man of My Dreams, but Many Family Members Are Severe Alcoholics That Belittle Me. What Do I Do?
Question by PinkBlondieGal: I married the man of my dreams, but many family members are severe alcoholics that belittle me. What do I do?
My husband is very close to his family and hates that we don’t get along. Over the past four years, I have become more and more resentful of the comments his family has made towards/at me. It seems to only happen when they drink, which happens to be every night after 6pm.His family has expressed, several times in a drunken state, that they do not like me. They’ve said things such as “I only put up with you because I love (husband), or “you will never be apart of our family” or “Did your parent’s love you? Because you are the coldest person I’ve ever met,” they’ve even said “I’m not going to pretend to like you because your marriage is just going to end anyway.” I’ve cried more times than I can count. They always see me as the problem, and I feel like I’m always walking on eggshells. My husband’s sisters regularly apologize on behalf of what is said, and I’ve even gotten a few apologies from his parents, but the behavior just keep going on and on, getting more personal and I feel like I can’t put up with it for the rest of my life!!!!! My husband recognizes the problem and stand up to them (when they do it in front of him, which is only about 20% of the time), but it doesn’t do much good the next time we visit. Please help, I’m becoming hopeless.
