You can't write this stuff!

[Guest guest]

oh, i try so hard to be stoic.... i don't post much at all and i

feel the same pain as so many here write.... you've got my

understanding and support to the Nth degree... i thought i'd walled

myself well from these feelings.

but, this one is from an unexpected corner in a way...

i get a request from my MIL who wants to update her photo

collection. she and FIL used to have photos of our family

displayed... over the years, the photos of us dwindled to slowly

show more emphasis on other favored family members...

okay, so we deal with that and my husband is patient and knows the

drama and we move on ~ we're not there much which makes it easier...

then, i notice photos that once were there of me are gone... we're

married 21 years ~ do they know something we don't?

now, i get an email from MIL requesting updated photos of husband &

son (not me).... she states it like this...

" I was wondering if you took any pictures when you were up here,

other than Rufus. Which you already know we love!!! I was

wondering about and , in particular. If you did I'd love

some copies. Thanks so much. "

Rufus = their dog

= our son

= my husband

i simply don't believe the nerve... i could write back now but i'm

so enraged that i know i won'g handle it well... any insights or

suggestions on how to handle this????
