[QUOTE="SarahD, post: 1579270, member: 235732"] My husband abandoned our son and I last summer. We never speak, never see one another. I still love him, though. His family and I are on excellent terms, while he is on bad terms with them. My grandma (in her 80s) is very negative with my situation. When I discuss positive things that I am doing to "fix" the issues, or "save" the marriage.... she has a negative of "He will never change" "Give up and find another man, he's gay and is married to (his guy friend's name)". For every hope I have, she has something negative and brooding to say about the situation. Her 1st husband (many moons ago) was a drunk, cheater, loser who also walked out on she and my mom (about the same age as my child is now). Is it possible she is just jaded and comparing my marriage to her 1st? Will I ever get anywhere? I take delight in "talking out or thinking my way out" of my problems. And its impossible for me NOT to talk about them, even though I've been told to shut up and "Stop running this issue into the ground, already". Why does she act this way? She is not helping me. Does anyone else who's spouse left, have an opinionated, runny mouth relative or friend telling them these mean things? [/QUOTE]
