I'm strangely feeling betrayed by my MIL.
She seems to be relishing in other babies and young children in her extended family.
She even is doing scrapbook pages of a child of one of my husband's distant cousins. She's also oohing and ahhing over her cousins new grandson. I hurts to watch. I feel like she doesn't mourn the loss of the two babies we lost. I understand that it is family and she may be taking solace in these children, but it hurts. I feel like she doesn't acknowledge my and my DH loss.
Now that my BIL wife is pregnant, I feel it will get worse. I don't think she purposely is doing this. But I hate the fact that she seems to be taking comfort in these children. I'm glad she has some solace (if she ever felt the loss), but on the same token I get angry that my babies seem so replaceable.
I'm still coming up empty. Those babies will always be on my mind, so when she delights in other children, I feel betrayed.
I know it's not right, but it just how it feels. I hate feeling this way.
