When I was young, I saw my father hit my mum a lot until they separated. Since then, I've been scared of men. Many years have passed, and I got married to a very good man, and we have two sons together. We moved to Australia. The problem is, my husband is a mama's boy, and my mother-in-law is very attached to her son. This makes me feel upset, angry every time I see them together, insecure, and left out. I'm also not sure if my feelings of jealousy and being left out are directly related to my childhood trauma. I don't like feeling this way. What should I do?"</SPAN></P> Wed, 10 Apr 2024 08:54:49 GMT Wan 2024-04-10T08:54:49Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/dealing-with-own-emotion/m-p/588932#M52844 <P>Hello,</P><P><SPAN>I need some help dealing with my own emotions.

It's normal to feel this way.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Does your mother in law treat you like her own daughter? Or does she ignore you? Have you communicated this with your partner on how you feel?&nbsp;</P><P>Do you have a relationship with the mother in law?</P> Thu, 11 Apr 2024 04:44:42 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/dealing-with-own-emotion/m-p/589013#M52855 Guest_54900814 2024-04-11T04:44:42Z
