Dear Amy: I feel disrespected and unappreciated for everything I do.
Dear Amy: My daughter-in-law is extremely close to her family and although she tries to show affection for us, it’s only out of obligation.On occasions I’ve been asked to clean their house and while cleaning I’ve seen the handbag in her closet.It is obvious about what transpired: While she and my son bought luxurious gifts for her family, she went shopping in her closet for me.I feel disrespected and unappreciated for everything I do for them .
I hope you can summon up the courage to calmly approach your daughter-in-law about this. Tell her, “This is embarrassing, but I want you to know that on Christmas you regifted to me the bag I gave to you – two years ago. I realize that you and I don’t have a very close relationship, but I do want you to know that this has made me feel sad and somewhat unappreciated. I’ve tried my best to get to know you, but I wish our relationship was on a better footing.
How can I communicate that those things don’t matter to me, and that I’d appreciate a call to meet for a meal somewhere or even a cup of coffee?– Road Goes Both WaysDear Road Goes: You could attempt to open this up by asking , “Is anyone else here able or willing to host one of our game nights?”
