Hi Girls

I have to say that our families have been amazing. But the other night DHs sister had said she would come over to see us, which was the day after my D&C (we had not seen her since a few days before we found out the news). Her new boyfriend had arrived from overseas on Monday, and we have not met him yet. She asked DH if she could bring him over. DH explained that while we would love to see her, we were not yet ready to have to meet a new person (keeping in mind we had only just found out about our babys passing etc). She then called later that night to say she wouldn't be able to come over as she had her with him etc.

Then DHs mother calls us to say that his sister had called her upset because we had refused to meet her boyfriend and that she didn't think it was very nice etc! MIL had a go at her and explained that she was being insensitive etc. I am now furious and really could not be bothered seeing her let alone the new boyfriend. I just feel it was so selfish especially as DH would have liked to see her and I think it hurt him.

I think sometimes it takes these sort of responses to make us appreciate all the special people who do offer support without any conditions. I feel better after that rant!
