MIL can’t stand seeing my husband take care of me
I got into a serious accident recently and ended up with multiple fractures. I’m on strict bed rest for months. I can only use my hands a little, but cannot do basic daily things without help.
I was also 7 weeks pregnant when this happened.
My husband and I had wanted this baby so much but after discussions with doctors and after seeing my condition, we decided not to continue with the pregnancy.
My husband has been taking care of me deligently. He left work temporarily to help me recover. He helps me bathe, feeds me, helps me change clothes, gives me medicines, everything. I am deeply grateful for him.
My MIL came to stay with us on her own to “help” with cooking and household things, we didn't call her, and she came on her own which I appreciate but ever since she came, she constantly fussing over and taunting me for needing care.
Whenever she sees my husband helping me, she says things like "atleast you can eat on own" or “Women handle these things all the time.” and she keeps bringing up the abortion indirectly to tell me how much she wanted her grandchild and makes me feel guilty, even though she has seen my condition with her own eyes.
Also she keeps telling her everyone how good of mil she is that she came to help us, and then keeps complaining that how my husband is too "jhoru ka gulam" and so much dedicated towards me, doesn't leave me alone for a second and basically pampering me like a baby etc etc
I already lost a pregnancy we wanted. I am already stuck in bed, dependent on others, in pain, grieving my old life and trying to heal. I do not need shame added on top of that.
I'm just tired of her, she potrays herself as nice MIL and then behave victim as if she has all the health problems in world and despite that she came to "take care of us" . my husband and I were getting so close to each other and she ruined everything, I wish she had never come.
