Feeling sad

My partner's family all live in the same suburb as us, which is only a very smallish suburb, you could easily ride a bike from one end of town to the other in around 5 to 10 mins.  However it has been my family that has been travelling 80km round trips daily, weekly, monthly for the past 2 years whilst I have been pregnant and then with treatment to help with our children.

For the past couple of months we have been discussing moving closer to my family however this past weekend my partner told me that he had no intentions on moving to where I believe our family needs to be.

Due to the lack of consideration and help from his family I can only assume that they are quietly trying to divide and conquer our family unit (they have never liked me).  However this Christmas too I have to sit and eat Christmas lunch at my MIL's place.  So I can sympathise with you Deanne on how you must be feeling, thinking of how unsupportive the family has been but you have to sit and grin and bear it for the rest of the family that you love.

I hope you get some time with your girls away from it all as well and cherish the fact that it has been another Christmas that you get to spend with them. Just like I will be cherishing my precious children on this day, I will be hanging out to get to my parents for dinner that night and spending quality time with the people that I know that do care for my family.
