In-Law Stress

Last night we went to the walk-in counselling clinic to discuss my in-laws/his parents.

What they have been doing is ripping our already tattered marriage apart. As far as I see it, they don’t agree with our marriage (for an unknown reason) and therefore do not see me as a part of their family. The are always ignoring me when I’m around, or talking down about me when I’m not around. Bad in-laws make a difficult marriage that much harder and we’ve both had enough of it.

We actually managed to get alot of things out, we both discussed different ways in which his parents are not being nice and I think just discussing it while having someone else there to keep the conversation going was very helpful. We came out of the meeting with slightly higher hopes, that we might actually be able to do something about the problem and that we would actually be united in doing so.

Well, today is going well so far. Richard has yet another interview (3rd one now) and he is now trying to stay in the same trade just going back to what he originally hated. So far he is keeping his hopes up but I’m not overly sure how long that is going to last.

Another four hours of work and then we leave for our ‘mini vacation’ at my parents’ house, hopefully it will be worth it.
