Nothing quite like family to push buttons in a big way. You probably have a good idea of what's coming, which is a little reassuring; but it can be so wearing.
I'm doing a guardianship issue that is very adverserial--my mom, my aunt (who is in a nursing home and doesn't communicate or understand anything), and my cousin (the aunt's son who is trying to get all her money). We've gotten it to the point where mom is guardian of the person and cousin is guardian of the estate--but there has been an INCREDIBLE amount of squabbling, and 12-year-old behavior and nastiness between my mom and cousin, and I'm fed up with it. It's been a couple of years now, and there's always something else to deal with. So...I can relate a little maybe, and as long as you're not peeing off the third floor balcony, your stress can be considered under control.:)
Good luck, and thank heavens for your WH. Does he know this could be a rough patch for you, and how he's likely to be affected (your 'losing it')? It's ok to lose it, BTW.
Maybe they need a spell to get them in line.
Take care!
