I'm feeling anxious
Haven't spoken to or seen my husbands parents for 3.5 years. And I don't want to see them or speak to them ever again but they are coming to stay at our house. My home.
I already know what's coming. Me feeling invisible in my own home.

It's good it will be broken up! We have a new member by the way :)

My boyfriend lost his wife to cancer a little over two years ago. I have known him for nine months and we have been dating for the last six months. He is absolutely the most amazing, considerate, supportive, understanding, positive, resilient human being I have ever met. He makes me a priority. He talks about a future with me. He has introduced me to his parents, his son (from a previous marriage...
