Before I met my husband he was way over his head in credit card debt. He was barley keeping his head above the water. After we married and had our daughter what progress we had made in getting them paid off went down the toilet when he was hospitalized many times. He is now on disability and he had his debts discharged through bankruptcy. We are doing OK know finacially. We have enough to live on but that is about it. Luckly I am not into materialistic things. I am happy if I have a roof over my head and something to wipe my bottom with. LOL.
When I first became pregnant, my inlaws asked me to sign over gardianship of my daughter due to my mental illness and my husbands problems. I have been stable for years at this point. I was so angry. Of course I said NO. Actually they have yet to this day see me not stable. Because they are very well off, they told me they could do her better because they could buy the things she wants. I provide her with the things she NEEDS and some extra for spoiling just fine. I don't just want stuff handed to her. People who get stuff handed to them grow up not understanding the true value of things.
Now I am angry because they blame me for my husband having to file bankruptcy for HIS debt. I was not with him when this debt was aquired. They don't come right out and say it but its very obvious. Not to mention they live a long way away and I email them to keep them updated on my daughter and husband. We communicate through video sometimes. They often tells me how I am doing things with my child wrong. I am sorry but my husband is really messed up mentally and emotionally from there "Parenting skills", or should I call it abuse.
There behavior and attitude toward me actually is the only thing triggering to me. I am a damb good mom and I don't need anyone telling me any different.
