Why does he hate me?
Why do I care so much that he hates me?
He’s my father-in-law. I always thought he would love me and I would love him back. For the longest time, I felt that way. I don’t know how long he has felt this way though.
He thinks I’m a puppet master to his son and that my emotions and moods are just because I am spoiled and high-strung.
He hasn’t once tried to talk to me about anything. He blames my parents for “making” my brother gay and me bipolar.
I think he’s depressed.
My heart aches for my husband going through all of this, but my heart also greatly aches for him – my father-in-law.
I know what it’s like to feel depressed; to feel so lost in your own self-loathing and negative thoughts.
Sometimes I wish this world was a different place.
But I love my life! Why do I let him bother me so?
Maybe because he’s not judging me for me, but for my mental illness instead. He thinks I’m some type of corrupt monster with over-active hormones.
I just wish he would speak to me.
