Supposedly my in-laws have people from all over the country reading my blog. And, supposedly "so many people" can't believe the way I'm treating them based on what I've said in my blog. So, first let me say that the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" applies not only to the visual arts, but also to the written. Writing is a form of art. Therefore, people will draw their own conclusions from what they "see." Also, if someone dislikes you they can twist your words, and form them to best suite themselves. And, completely miss the point you are making. Now, I have to ask you what kind of person would recruit people to join them in a hate feast against someone? If you listen to my in-laws, and truly believe what they say, then you obviously do not know them. And, futhermore, you do not know me. You and I have never met, or if we have it was briefly. So, I invite you, whoever reads my blog to personally talk to me, not through the computer. I invite you to see my face, and hear the tones in my voice... And, then draw your conclusion.
Do not blindly follow what people say. You do not know all the stories, and the ones you do know, you only know one side of them. Also, do not pick apart every little thing about someone that labels themselves as "Christian". A Christian is not a perfect person. A Christian is a human being that has dedicated their life to Christ. A Christian is not without sin, but they strive to be. Do not pick apart someone to degrade them in order to make yourself look or feel better... If you need to feel good about yourself, if you are lacking something in your life... Then, I know who can help, and I invite you to meet with me to discuss salvation, and the ultimate unconditional love of the one that can lift your spirits and fulfill any void you may have in your life... Jesus Christ.
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing
Titus 1:1-2
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness— a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time
Jeremiah 29:11-12
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you
Jeremiah 17:7-8
But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit
PROVERBS 15:15
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

A blog is a form of having a diary, expressing yourself and what you think and feel. I don't see anything that you have said here wrong and wanted to point that out. Being one to have delt with horrible MIL, you know some of my story, I know first hand how dificult it is not to listen to someone, to choose to be close to the family. It's about the same thing that happened to me. I think people get wrapped up into who's fault it is, not thinking ok this happened, it's life now how can we fix it. That is the bigger picture! People don't like to be told their faults or how they are precieved sometimes too. At some point you need to decided what is best for you and your family and go with it. I hope things will get better for you.
