Hi everyone I need to have a bit of a rant here-I can't help feeling some people are so damn insensitive- or is it just me???
My faher in law was visiting today, and decided to tell me this "amazing story" about a tiny little baby, "it would just fit into the palm of your hand like this" (and he showed me) that lived "because of the hand of god".....well I'm sure that is wonderful for that family, but that just happened to be the same size as my little boy who didn't live and it was a loss that of course absolutely devastated me and I still have trouble dealing with at times. I had to say to him (after trying to ignore him and pretending I wasn't listening) "I really don't want to hear about this" and he had this look on his face like "what is wrong with her??"
I feel bad because I am so angry at him, and upset with him, and it makes me feel really uncomfortable around him like he is going to say something every time I see him that will make me upset. Which sucks as they tend to visit every weekend.
I wish I could be a bit more tolerant of the stupid things people say to me, but I have real trouble as it seems so obvious to me that I would not want to hear a story like that. Maybe he thinks I should be "over it" by now??? Like when my sister in law asked me if my last pg (which resulted in a healthy baby) "was easier the 2nd time round?"...ummm, yeah, just ignore the pg's in-between, especially Thomas', and yeah, it's just SO easy being pg again after a late loss of a baby!!!!Idiots!!!Being worried out of your mind every minute for 9 months!!!
has anyone else been in similar situations, how do you deal with the insensitive remarks from people who really should know better??? Or am I a bit too sensitive?
