It's been 6 months since my miscarriage and I am still grieving it.

At least MIL genuinely cares (with Myrtle I'm never quite sure), but that doesn't take away the pain. I'm so sorry you have to deal with her on top of everything else. Take good care of yourself - I hope the break will help.

Karma might be coming back to her in not such a nice way.<br /><br />I've come to realize some people just don't get that not everyone is fertile or on their own timetable. Or that infertility is as common as it is. And even when they are informed, there's no guarantee they'll know how to react, act, relate, respond, etc. That is one reason I am so thankful for this online community - we all get it and can support each other when others cannot. <br /><br />Hugs to you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130709434352231750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-49616861825251926602013-12-27T15:27:02.957-08:002013-12-27T15:27:02.957-08:00Myrtle just keeps taking the cake with each additi...Myrtle just keeps taking the cake with each additional idiotic episode doesn't she? It's just not fair you are in a position to explain the letdowns to her. Clearly, you have a good heart. You've been there for so many people in their times of trial. You deserve your break. It's your turn! I really feel like you are entering a leg of this journey when all you'll want to do is quit, but if you keep going you WILL experience success. I can just feel it coming!!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415140299306373048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-7808041282032937682013-12-27T11:44:41.701-08:002013-12-27T11:44:41.701-08:00It's really hard when the people you thought w...It's really hard when the people you thought would be (needed to be) the most supportive let you down.

I told her about IVF and all the struggles. She hasn't asked me much about it. So I don't even bother telling her the details anymore. Friendships change. But some people just don't have that kind of empathy needed to offer comfort to others in need. Sounds like Myrtle is one of them. Hugs to you friend. Hope February brings you good news.

I just couldn't believe some peoples' reactions (or the lack of reaction completely) to my story or to my repeated failures. It hurt so much, and it still does. I commend you for sticking with your friend - I ditched most of mine. And it's something that shreds me to pieces most every day. <br /><br />Still thinking of you my friend... xoxoAubrey https://www.blogger.com/profile/10268033706598268682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-29533055378857904602013-12-26T20:59:43.006-08:002013-12-26T20:59:43.006-08:00I think some people are incapable of true empathy ...I think some people are incapable of true empathy and others are so afraid of saying the wrong thing that they can't even acknowledge what has happened. I'm glad that you are finding support, even if it is within the anonymous confines of the blogosphere. There is so much to say but few words to convey it.
