My husband is dying of cancer. His family is doing a lot to help us. I appreciate the help but some his family treats me bad. I know inlaw troubles have been going on since the beginning of time. His sister doesn't like me and makes nasty remarks about me to everyone while I'm in the room. His son and daughter-in-law are living here for now. this because his son got in trouble with the law and has to wear and monitoring bracelet in the county we live in. they lived in the neighboring counter. this is driving me nuts. I feel like taking my son and walking away but I won't because that would be irresponsible.

I'm so sorry about your husband no doubt. I just have a question is he aware of what is going on by chance ?

Peace to you

Hi, Seems to me someone (probably) you needs to have a talk with your sister inlaw. To make nasty remarks while you are present is down right wrong my friend ! She is disrespecting both you and her brother with this treatment. I don't condone bickering during a crisis but your SIL needs to be put in her place.

Good Luck ! Sorry you are coping with such unkindness at a very sad time in your life.

Warm hugs, Gwen

I agree with Gwen. That girl needs to be told to "knock it off!". There is never a time or place to be disrespectful much less under these circumstances. I feel bad for you. You are his wife whether she likes it or not. I think I would tell her that one more remark and she needs to leave. Hugs and prayers to you and your husband, Sandy
