Drama

So I thought my mother-in-law troubles were a thing of the past. I was wrong.

Before the Hawaii trip I was SUPER stressed about going and still studying for school. I vented to her a lot because she seemed to be a willing ear. I ended up venting WAY too much about B, which I realized I should stop, but I didn't. When we got back from Hawaii I got upset with B and she tried talking me out of it and I wasn't going to have it. B and I got in a loud fight that night. The next day she took us to the airport and everything seemed fine. I asked B to call her that night to let her know we were safe and he did.

Fast forward to the rest of the week - we call, we email, no response. She leaves a few fb comments for B - I leave a cutesy banter one back to B, then all of a sudden she's gone off fb. Fast forward to the weekend and she still hasn't talked to us. I apologize up and down and she responds favorably. Easter we text her and call her and say happy easter. She texts us happy easter. Next few days with calls, emails, texts on our part and no calls back from her and barely texts or emails. Next few days she gets back on fb but doesn't include B and I. For some reason, that hurts my feelings more than anything. She has B's brother, his fiancee, our friends, but not B and I. Call me sensitive but it feels like a stab in the back.

To top it off rewind to where I started talking to her more before all this started - after she called upset because we hadn't called her enough (not on purpose, because of the busyness of life). I started calling her much more often. Since she usually talks a ton when I'm on the phone she started becoming one of my sources to talk to. This is what I get for using her as a source I guess. I knew better, but I guess I didn't really know. I guess after five years of no drama by me walking on tip toes and egg shells I thought it would be okay again. I'm not sure what I was thinking!!
