Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Don't worry your mother in law story didn't upset me at all, its great when someone finally gets a great mother in law. I guess I have a hard time understanding how she doesn't understand what I am going threw when she herself has a child with Autism and she lost anther one shortly after he was born. For example my oldest one was born 8 weeks early and I was so scared and young I didn't understand why this was happening and she said to someone " I don't understand why she is so depressed? " WHAT??? I just don't understand her sometimes its scarey!! I know she loves her grandkids but she is just not all about whats going on. Like Eva's therapy she hates that they come to the house that if she is home she hides in her room and doesnt watch her granddaughter do great things. Now my mom would be right there she is also learning sign to help her communicate with Eva. Sorry for the vent but I just wanted to let you know I have learned to just live with it and not let others not show their joy about something I dont really have. I am so happy you have a great mother in law and family. Hugs, Crystal > > Dear Crystal- > > Thank you for the reminders ) My mother-in-law was famously good at this basic day-to-day life stuff - and so non-chalant about it that I never felt anxious or flustered. It was almost as if I was doing her a favor by accepting the stuff and not making a fuss over the bother! > > I know that sometimes your own mother-in-law seems to miss the picture entirely and I hope my warm mother-in-law story doesn't make you feel that sadness again. My own mother is famously self- absorbed and can't fathom that has anything differently than anyone else!
