Dear Panel,
I am 28 with two children, married to my husband
for ten years. I am a social worker at a children's hospital.
Marge is my mother-in-law. Raised two children,
married multiple times.
His Love-Hate Relationship with His Sister
and Mother
My husband Todd has had a love/hate relationship
with his sister Anna and mother Marge. He has many issues
regarding their relationship but refuses to discuss his feelings
with them.
Six months ago, he finally had a "blow
out" with his family. We have barely spoken to them since.
We have very recently made up and thought things were good.
We Discovered Rude Emails
My husband and I discovered a folder full of
e-mails that Marge, my mother-in-law, wrote to her friends
and Anna, her daughter. The e-mails were extremely rude and
more importantly passing on personal information that we confided
in his mother about. She also repeatedly talks VERY badly
about me and blames me for everything.
My Mother-in-Law Checks My Confidential Work Voicemail
We also discovered Marge was checking my work
voicemail, which is supposed to be STRICTLY confidential.
We are at a loss of what to do.
Do we confront his family regarding our findings?
