Furious with MIL right now.
My child was assaulted by their own cousin not to long ago, they are the same age, 9. Mom to cousin who did the assault reassured my child they did the right thing by telling someone. Mom to cousin still doesn’t know what to do with her own child in this situation. However, MIL has set foot into this situation and is calling my husband and telling him we NEED to confront this NOW, we NEED to talk to the cousin who assaulted my child sooner or later. HOW DARE we make the aunt and cousin feel tortured by us staying home and away from the house to let our child HEAL. Telling my husband he HATES said child because he said he wasn’t ready to see them yet, I’m not ready to see them either neither is OUR CHILD. When he told his mom that our child is flinching and not themselves yet his mom said “they are 9, they don’t understand what happened” WHO THE HELL SAYS THAT! My husband told his mom NO. She is not taking it for an answer. I’m so angry that MIL would say all of this, and to me it feels like she doesn’t give 2 💩’s about our child (her other grandchild mind you!!) in this situation.
Wtf do I do?? We have not seen them since this happened and it’s so obvious MIL is wanting all of it fixed ASAP to make her life and the cousin who did this life easier.
