They are English (she married in the UK) They are extremely wealthy- and she has always treated me like I am her hired help/beneathe her etc since day 1.My husband was overseas visiting when his(and her) elderly father fell and broke his hip- I was the only one here to tend to him and their mother with alzheimers(long story). When all this happened- I was forced to cancel my economy trip lose my ticket and pay a fine to cancel my trip to see my family that I hadn't seen in 2 years- I was quite upset about that( I can't afford to travel- let alone throw money away) but what was worse- is that my father in law being 89-went into surgery for his hip and ended up almost dying- when the Hospital was calling at 3 A.M.asking me for the DNR papers- I could not get a hold of anyone- I tried over and over calling my husband and sister in law- Anyway long story short My sister in laws' husband sent me this condescending-evil- scathing email and post on FB -because I had posted (to my family and friends) that I would'nt be taking my trip/ had to cancel/ because of the situation- He said: " You did not do ****! It's not like you wiped their asses and spoon fed them"... among other words- this was the most hurtful- because -hello!?- I was alone with this life/death situation, not MY parents, elderly with yes lots of meds and a harrowing experience- Long story short- When my sister in law finally showed up she shouted at me to "JUST LEAVE, take my little trip!!" -not understanding that after I told her my trip was cancelled- for me it is CANCELLED! They jet set all over the world- weekly- they have a huge flat in Kensington district London-and penthouse in Dubai and a mansion they had built in Italy. She has lectured 'down' to me since I got married- and treat me like S**t -but now it it so bad I have to avoid them altogether. This hurts because I just feel ostrasized- worse than the day I got married- I don't know what to do- I don't want to feel like I have to hide / avoid them all... What did I do wrong if I did?- to be treated this way?? I don't understand why they look down on me so much- I never had money- but I come from a very academic background- my father was highly acclaimed professor- not that this matters- but they have no reason to treat me like I'm trash- even on a superficial level as that..
