I have been through so much and nobody seems to care
The story
She's technically not my mother in law because I have yet to marry her son, but we've been together for 10 years this year. I recently had to get an abortion because we don't have the funds to take care of a child and neither of us want to raise our child with our shitty parents controlling the situations. It would've been an unhealthy situation for the child and it devastated me. I want to be a mother someday but it just wasn't the time and it hurts me every day. My parents were deeply angry with me for making this decision, blamed my boyfriend, and i ended up moving in with his family to get away from my parents because they would berate me constantly every time i was home. I don't work due to mental health and physical health issues. I am in therapy and on lots of medication. Anyway, my partner's mother is so overbearing, controlling, she complains about me when I'm not around, she complains to my face about my social anxiety and how quiet I am. She gets angry when I don't want to go to social gatherings that I don't need or want to be a part of, and then tells me I HAVE to come to the next one. It's just so overwhelming all the time. I feel like I left one bad situation to go to another. My poor boyfriend is so drained and unable to emotionally be there for me. I'm at a loss, every day my mood worsens and I feel more depressed and upset than the last. I feel that I lost control of my life completely just when I was finally starting to get better. Now I just feel more trapped and upset than ever. I don't wanna keep going.
