I NEED HELP... greiving mom taking her pain out on me???
i have a situation.. more so complicated if you ask me.. My sister in law who i see pretty much as a sister, just lost her baby about 2 months ago. And shes very angry at me because my baby lived..
For a little bit of history, this girl just wants to be a mom, she wants lots of children, she wants to live her life raising children.. When i came home about a year and a half ago pregnant, she told me that she was jealous that i was pregnant. Then her and my parents got in a huge fight, but we did find out that when i was pregnant at 6 - 7 months she jsut found out she was pregnant. and then she all of a sudden wanted back in our lives..
So when Dominik was about 2 months old She all of a sudden wanted back in our lives.. She eventually started comming to the house and visiting again.. She delivered her baby Marshall on February 16th.. I love him soo much, she even put the flower that i bought for him in with him for when he was being cremated.. that really meant a lot to me.. i wasnt even expecting that.. nothing else but a picture of her and mike, and my flower was with him.
At first she was unable to see Dominik which was completely understandable.. But after about a week and a half to two weeks she was fine and able to see him..
Since then she has come to me just to talk, ya know asking for advice, but everything i tellher she has an excuse for, or shes already done it. she tells me these depressing stories and that nothing can make her happy except if somebody brought her baby back. I told her (nicely) that i cant help her, she needs professional help to help her cope and to make things better. nobody can bring back her baby.. and she just snapped out.. its almost like she hates me, and my son.. and the impression that ive been gettin is that shes been having these feelings for a long time.. and shes just commin out with it now!!!
i just dont know what to do.. i support her, and love her to death.. but i just dont have the answers for her.. and i find it really sad that shes taking her anger out on me and my son.. she says to my mom that i didnt even want a baby why did i get to keep my son.. typpa thing.. no i didnt want a baby, but i got pregnant, and i learnt to deal with it.. and now i wouldnt trade him for the world..
I feel really bad for her, i just want to help her.. but when i was soo invested with it i felt guilty for having dominik..
Im really extremely confused and dont know what to do!!! i seen a councilor and she told me that if i kept doing what i was doing and feeling guilty then one day dominik may feel guilty for being a live, and i will NEVER let that happen!!
