Hi,

My husband has 7 sisters who think that he owes them his life.
His father died when he was four years old and mother when he was
twenty one. One sister lived in London for seven years with her family
without working while crying to my husband and using his credit card for
5 yrs. Another who lived with him previously sold the house to him
for a good deal of money. I think she expected him to live with her all her life.
She now complains to her other sisters about both of us. I happen to know about this,
but they think that I don't. The sister who was in London, wrote to my husband a very nasty
letter. She told him that they are the ones who wiped his tears, the other sister was the one
who was always there for him before I came, that I send them ordinary birthday cards, that my husband
should check this, that we did not bother to inquire about the brother when he was sick, that they didn't include
me in their gatherings when they were together because someone else arranged them and that my husband
should interpret that as he wishes. I was very annoyed when I saw all this. My husband did not spare her, he gave
her good and stood up for me. But it still annoys me that they think they can get away with it. Should I tell
them that I know exactly how they feel about me? I have kept my distance in the past but I am not sure if I should
confront them since I feel that I don't know what they have been saying about me.

susan replied. Hi Greta,
Reading ur query, seems ur husband supports u. That should be the main thing for u. I know u r angry with ur s-i-ls and will always be but dont let their behaviour bother u because they are far away from u. So u neednt break ur head for them. As far as ur husband is there with u, forgot his sisters. They will get what they deserve. If in future they try to act smart, then maybe u can give them a piece of advise and confront them. But now its up to u. U shd not let them bother u.
