It's not my fault.

Hi, I just can't see to keep my own stuff in order. I am always worring about how others will see what I do. Or how they will react to myswings in mood. I am on a new medication, which is helping.
I made some phone calls to my sister on Friday night (last) and when I spoke to her on Saturday I could hear her husband in the backghround bellering and blaming my husband for something. Saturday I spoke to her and they wanted my husband to come pick up the items they had borrowed. When I said he was busy, her husband spoke more trash in the background.
When I did go there after work my husband went with me and my brother-in-law was ready for a fight. As we were trying to leave, I was between them and got pushed in to my husband. twice. After the second push I pushed back. I got punched twice for my trouble. Once in the left eye and once in the right side of my head.
My husband and I were leaving on Sunday m,orning to join family members for a few days of vacation. I got reminded of the altercation every time someone looked at me or I looked in the mirror. I feel really bad about the four phone calls I made to get in touch with my sister. She has periodic phone trouble and I wanted to make sure she knew I need the items. I just can't seem to get out of the cycle of blaming myself even though I know his feelings of rage are not my fault. There was nor reason for my brother-in-law to pick a fight with my husband.
I am worried about my sister but I am afraid to call her that it may lead to his rage coming out at her. (She has MS and has enough to deal with without him raging.
I'm a wreck at the moment.

    Your right Judy--the fight was not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. It sounds like there was some miscommunication that got WAY outta hand. I'm sorry you ended up getting hurt. Maybe you should give your sister a call in about a week (giving your BIL some time too cool off) to make sure that she's okay. Or try calling her when you know he won't be there, if you can. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
