When you tell someone something that you have been holding back for a while (just not to upset them and keep the peace) and they get upset and emotional because they thought there was nothing wrong, should you feel bad?
I had to tell my mother in law that her ways of treating my baby aren't acceptable. I think she's careless and she hurt my daughter or get her sick. I didn't imply that. I just said that ___ that I noticed needs to stop. It was very upfront and I've never confronted her before. She confronted me before on a few things and yes, I felt a bit upset but I never disrespected her feelings and I didn't continue to do what she doesn't like.
I feel like I got a weight off my chest because I was trying to get my husband to talk to her about it for the longest time, he just wouldn't. So I had to. I was fighting with my husband about his mom constantly (almost daily) it was ruining our marriage. Now that it's all out and distributed, should I feel bad? Because I don't.
