Am I wrong or her?

The answer that you gave me,is exactly what I think.Just because she is not happy in her life and does not have a family does not mean she should be punishing me and my children.I almost think that their is nothing in it for her to visit.She said that if we were going to a farm or a movie she would come,but not just to come over.It hurts me alot,when hollidays come around,she declines.I never come to her place,she always says that it is too messy,so what can I do.She thinks that her situation is horrible and that everyone should always feel sorry for her.I think that we should enjoy our family together especially at the hollidays.I understand that it must be hard for her,but that does not mean that she should never visit.The whole summer is going by and she has not said anything about coming over.What do you think?

Answer #1

You cannot control another person..you made the effort, that’s all you can do..It’s hard but you’ve got to accept she enjoys playing the ‘victim’..I wish you and your family the best !!

Answer #2

I agree with you and with amblessed. I can understand why it might be difficult for her, but it’s certainly not a mature way to handle it, and it is not fair to you and the kids. She’s the one who’s really missing out here though. Pushing you away isn’t going to give her what she thinks her life is lacking.

Do you two talk about this much? It might end up being one of those situations where there just isn’t much you can do. If she wants to sit around feeling sorry for herself, you might not be able to change that, and it really isn’t your job to anyway. With a family of your own, you have enough to do and to worry about without having to worry about a grown woman who should be able to handle a little envy!

Answer #3

if u got kids and then u meet someone they shud be prepared for the whole package , what ever u do is dont out her in frount of ur kids it would be the biggest mistake of ur life!! but if u like this person tell her nad say what is her problem ,it might be something worth working on and if its not then , iguess its not meant to be , but then u have made the effert and thats all u can do ,it takes 2 to make a realtioship work, and when theres kids invoolved then she shouldnt be mucking u around adn playing the victum but surporting u adn ur kids!! just talk to her and see what she wants!!
