Hi everyone, I just wanted to get your view on my current situation. I am married to a man who has normal hearing, and his whole family has normal hearing. We've been married for almost 3 years (August) but been together for 5 1/2. In the beginning his mom loved me, we were good friends and understood that I have a hearing impairment. We had our first child 2 years ago, and since then she has found more reasons to cause drama and problems in our lives. She doesn't believe me that I can't hear her on the phone, so she gets very angry when I text her things. She has told me things like I am killing her son by having a cat, and not to get happy about having a baby because I will more than likely miscarry, and the latest thing she is angry (not even speaking to me) is I found out there is a lung disease in her family. She has it, all her siblings have it, and one of them is actually on a transplant list. My husband already is showing signs. This concerns me as a wife but more so as a mother. My daughter became ill with RSV, and her dr told me to keep her away from cigarette smoke, and this would help my daughter even more so with not getting the lung disease that runs in my husband's family. My mother in law smokes. I nicely asked her not to smoke around my daughter and ever since then she has refused to speak to me. She is even more angry because my husband and I moved away (sister had leukemia, single mom, so we moved to take care of her kids who I have guardianship over) and then now we are expecting our second child. I hate it that she hates me, but really dislike it that she is treating my daughter like crap, and my husband too. Should I confront her and tell her how I feel or just disregard her as part of my family? I am not a kind of person who has many enemies. What would you do? I really hate it that she thinks I am faking a hearing problem. (uh, I am wearing hearing aids)
