In law struggles- long post!

So we have come on holiday with my partners family and it’s our first holiday abroad with our 9 month old. Safe to say it’s been very difficult and stressful not the mention I suffer with postnatal depression. Well it all came to a head the other night I have really really struggled with this holiday more than I thought but I am also proud of myself literally 3 months ago I didn’t even hardly leave the house because of my postnatal depression and anxiety. So to come on holiday abroad is a huge step, yes I have complained sometimes that I’m not enjoying myself to my partner and I have had my down moments. So the other night my partner went to his family letting off steam how he was finding my complaining difficult and me not 100% enjoying the holiday a downer. Well his family let loose how they really felt saying how I have been very emotional and on edge and talking about how they don’t understand why I am like ‘this’ I should be enjoying myself I am ungreatful and they literally ignored me when we were due to go to a family dinner. So I found out their true feelings about me and how they don’t understand why I am depressed on holiday and I should be over postnatal depression by now am I just due on my period?!!!! Firstly I’m upset for my partner going down to his family and what felt and the time like slagging me off when I wish he would of just told me how he felt and I could of explained my reactions and how I can’t help it sometimes. But also I wish he had my back infront of his family not letting them be mean about me when I have such a difficult time. It caused a huge argument and really hurt my feelings, we are ok now but I really am struggling to be round his family with how small minded they have been about the whole thing and so unsupportive of postnatal depression. Sorry I just needed a rant! And I being to sensitive ??

You are not being too sensitive st all!

IMO you should be angry at your partner and not your in laws. What you say to him should stay confidential… so to bring his family into the situation is his fault.

Not being too sensitive, I'd be the same. If he was feeling such a way, he absolutely should've come to you direct. And that conversation should've stayed between the two of you
