I don't like my in-laws. Most of them is more accurate I should say.
they seem to not care at all about my feelings but then expect me to sit there and listen for hours as they ramble on about their lives. They act like I have no family on my side. When I call my mother they act like "Why on earth would you want to talk to her?" I seriously feel like they don't give a shit about my feelings at all. I told my partner flat out yesterday "My feelings don't matter." He had nothing to say.
I am respectful and considerate and I got out of my way to do things to make them happy but no one can do something as simple as say "How was your day?" When I come in. Nothing. It has me so depressed. I've tried to address this problem before but all that happens is the blame gets turned around on me. It's always up to me. No one will admit they've done something rude or hurtful but every time one of them is unhappy its my job to come to the rescue and if I don't I"m a cold bitch.
It has really put a damper on my relationship with my loved one. I feel bitter towards them and full of resentment because I have given up on talking to him about it. My therapist tells me my feelings are valid but that means nothing to him. I just feel so lonely.
