In-laws public scorn chips
away at mans confidence
DEAR ABBY: I have a
great marriage to an amaz
ing woman. We have beau
tiful kids and are really
happy together. The issue,
however, is my in-laws. We
are complete opposites in
personality and certain
views.
I know everyone has dif
ferent opinions and I
respect that. The problem
is, they belittle my opinions,
job, hobbies and habits. I
have been with my wife
since high school, and they
have never liked me. Lately,
the problems have gotten
worse.
I am educated, have a
good job and take care of
my family. But every
chance my in-laws get, they
make negative comments to
me, and in front of others.
My friends have called
them beyond cruel. My
feelings are constantly hurt,
and I have begun to feel
negatively about myself.
My wife doesn’t see a prob
lem and says that’s just how
they are.
I have stood up for
myself. When I did, my
father-in-law proceeded to
threaten me with physical
violence. It is worse when
they drink, which is usually
when we see them, but the
insults are there regardless. I
am scared my kids will see
how they treat me and think
it is OK to do so. I used to
be a confident man who
would defend myself, but
because they are family, I
usually take it.
I am at my breaking
point, and my marriage is
beginning to suffer because
my wife refuses to support
me. She also keeps inviting
us to their house for gather
ings. I tell her I don’t want
to go, but she says to let
things go. I don’t know
how. Please help. —

stances. That a wife would
tolerate her parents’ abuse
of her husband is shameful.
However, that does not
mean you must allow it to
continue. Dig deep and res
urrect the confident man
you once were. Tell your
wife you will no longer
visit the in-laws unless you
receive an apology from
them and they agree to
remain sober while you’re
there. And because you
have reason to believe
you’ll be disrespected in
front of your children — or
it will happen behind your
back — make other plans
for them and for yourself
while your wife visits her
folks.

DEAR ABBY: Maybe I
am wrong to feel the way I
feel. My 90-year-old mother
passed away a month ago.
My sister emailed me to tell
me the awful news. I almost
fainted when I read it. I
can’t believe it was accept
able to notify me that way.
At the funeral, my sister
also had the pastor read
what she wrote about our
mom, and never acknowl
edged me in her writing or
asked if I wanted to write
something to be read. What
is going on here? None of
this behavior seems right to
me. —DEVASTATED IN
THE SOUTH
DEAR DEVASTATED:
Please accept my deepest
sympathy for the loss of
your mother. What your
sister did was not proper. I
can only conclude that you
and your sister are not
close, and that she may
harbor some anger or
resentment toward you that
she demonstrated at a most
inappropriate time.
