Feeling trapped, really want to scream.



Backstory

Can't find a place to be comfortable at inlaws.Hubby is sprawled on bed with our dog,other bedroom is covered in stuff that maked "Hoarding" Tv show look tame. The heat is set to inferno. FIL is sleeping in recliner.(So no TV) I finally came back to the computer room and heat bill be damned I opened the back door!All of my family is deceased, so coming here while his is alive, and smiling through gritted teeth is the best gift I can give.

Oh, dove, I'm sorry. Trips to the in-laws are never pleasant, but worse when there is no place for you.

Been there, done that. No it is not pleasant especially when MIL is a devil from hell. Always would ask very personal questions and I left there not liking my husband. Very toxic person indeed. The FIL not much better. My teeth also were gritted down. I found a trick about those questions. When ever she asked me an uncomfortable one, I would ask the same back to her. She told my husband she thought I was "snippy". LOL! I told my husband to tell her that I was dangerous not snippy.
