My SIL has put up some photos on her 'spare wall'. I glanced through all the photos - it were taken with her friends, some with her daughters and mum, her so-called beloved auntie, one with XXX.
I had some disturbed emotions upon seeing these photos - there is none shown taken with our family.
Perhaps she has none taken with us !
Can all these photos say something about her attitude towards the in-laws ?
I felt that my family esp. me have give and take towards her and her MIL too but does she remembers 'our goodness' or we as part of her family ? Ya, its a question mark to me.
My family members are of less importance to her than her friends, her beloved auntie and XXX.
You know I felt 'kind of left out' not physically in the photos but in the mind of the beholder.
Come to think of it - we have never been close towards each other - sad to say its just 'superficial' - that's how I look at it. Maybe someone I knew can tell me its not true ?
I only can say that too much things have happened between us as a family - difference in our thinking etc.
