Desperate for some advice!!!!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I figure it would be ok to post this dilemia here, please feel comfortable to give me your advice. I am married to a wonderful man who I love very much but I am having some issues with my inlaws. The problem is this, my mother inlaw was diagnoise with kidney failure several years ago, and because of her religion she would not accept a kidney transplant. Now the problem is that I practice a different faith then my husband family and for the past 11 years of our marriage I have been teased, publicly, laughed at and completely disrespect by the family, out of the 11 years we have been married they have come to vist us twice. As her health got worse, I came to her, and took care of her as if she was my mother in spite of all the disrespect I received in the past, and you know what I got not a thank you, but I got cursed out and thrown out of the house afterward. Now this it is 4 years later and since this time my inlaws have begun to ask us to move to GA to be closer to them. I for one do not like GA but I did not like the state I had moved to and expressed this to my husband, and finally told him that maybe we can give GA a try. Now we moved to GA and I transferred out from out of a nursing program that I was accepted to to come here, and once we get here, my mother inlaw saids great :yeah::yeah::yeah:you came here to help take care of me. :zzzzz:banghead: I am not be rude or anything but no that is not the reason I came here, but to keep the peace :bow: I began taking care of her anyway. Now you would think after all this everything would workout :banghead::banghead:Nope my father in law curses us out once more, I was thrown out of school becuase he would not allow me to use his computer ( I was taking online classes) and could not take the constanst complaining and working my tail off and being told I was useless afterwards so I moved out. We then lost the home we intial got and was practically on the street. I have no family here with the exception of them, and you would think they would call or say something. No the left us in the street, we went to stay with friends that we just meet until we was able to get back on our feet, neither one of us was working. So now my father in law calls my husband back up and said oh I am so sorry and worried about you :saint::saint: come back to the house. We get to the house and he said to my husband (mind you it has not been a day yet) I am going to NY watch your mother now my husband looks at me to do it becuase I am the nursing student anyway :banghead: and my father in law left.

Now they have two nurse aids that come to the house one is great with my mother inlaw I personal get the feeling she dosnt care for me, because everytime I am at the house with her, she is constantly calling my father inlaw and telling him things like I broke his computer or his fax machine, I am not even in the same room as the these items.

The other nurse aid they do not like, so now guess who they call to take her place :banghead::banghead: (if you are guessing me you are right) I for one do not feel comfortable doing this.

1. They have a daughter who lives in NY and will not come to take care of her and when she is in GA she still dosnt take care of her mother.

2. Her mother dosnt want to go in a nursing home

3. I try not to stress my marriage so I dont complain to my husband about it because I dont want to be the nagging wife.

4. I dont want to stay here in GA becuase I cant stand the place and I am unhappy to the point I am :bluecry1::bluecry1: everyday.

Can some of you guys give me your opinion on this, I want to be supportive and caring but at the same time I am sick of these people taking advantage of me and my husband

You need to stop letting people run your life. They can not take advantage of you unless you allow it. Make your descisions about school and stick with them. Go to the school or library or somewhere, to study and get online, etc. It will show them all that you mean business and are serious. Get a job, get out of their house, and take back your life! They are treating you the way that they want because they can! Show them they can not!

You can do it! good luck.

I agree, and I will tell you what they all know this as well. When my father in law asked my husband to take care of his mother, that is just like asking me.

He will go to my husband and tell him take care of your mother, and then come to me and tell me this is her medicine, she takes it at such and such time, so forth

meanwhile my husband is sitting down watching tv relaxing of course. I truely feel sorry for my mother in law, because she is sufferring allot, but I cant help but wonder sometime how can your husband just leave you in this condition?

I can understand the point you need to get away, but I alway thought that what all your children were for, not just me in lieu of my husband type of situation.

I am making arrangements to move back home, and in the meanwhile I am learning to teach him how to take care of his mother.

But you are right, husband do seem to forget that we have goals too.

Thanks for the advice, keep it coming, I should mention that I need to hear other opinions about this as well

this has actually cross my mind as well, and slowly but surely I am taking back my life. I guess I need to hear this through the process in order not to stop but to stay focus- I dont want to seem self centered, but getting through this and being the best you can be takes focus. I waited for so long for my turn that now I am not taking no for an answer- I know my husband understands that-

and I am getting out more going to the library and bookstore, to be with myself and my books - it is just the constant interruptions.

stick to your guns girl!!! good luck!

We can not sit around and wait for respect and equality, we have to go out and take it... Madelyne Albreicht

:bow::bow: I am happy to report my husband has put in for a transfer to go back home, I was offerred a tech job at a childrens hospital here that I have decided to take in the meanwhile waiting for his transfer to come through.

after being asked why I had to go work for a hospital and not stay here and work for my inlaws I final had the opportunity to tell them I am married and have the choice of working in an environment were I am not only appreciated but encourage to better myself. :chuckle:chuckle:chuckle

If only I could have taken a picture of his face when they found out we were moving back home :chuckle:chuckle:bow:
