Saturday was my daughters 1st birthday party & instead of being able to fully enjoy the day I was battling palpitations & trying to keep panic attacks at bay. I'm physically & emotionally drained from the day. It was one of the worse days I've had in a long time. On top of having to manage my anxiety, keep the kids happy & being in crowds I had the added bonus of my fiancés Mum and sister totally ignoring me and my family. I didn't have the physical or emotional energy to try and keep them happy. His mum started crying (now I mean sobbing) in the middle of it all and when my partner asked her what was wrong she wouldn't tell him. When they were leaving they didn't say thank you or goodbye they just looked through me. My sister made a point in saying goodbye to them and they did the same things to her. I don't know how to bring this up to my partner as he might get defensive and then we'll end up fighting. The thought of having to go near them again sends me into a panic and my anxiety starts to spiral. Update: my daughter is the mother-in-laws grandchild & this isn't the first incident. At the baby's christening his mum threw a tantrum because his friend held our baby first even though she (Mother-in-law) had held her multiple times. His friend needed closure as she had suffered miscarriages & hadn't seen our daughter before that day. The mother knew this. I'm also seeking help with my issues since last Monday :)
