Where to start. I always had a difficult relationship with Mum. I always loved her and she always loved me but she could be very controlling which resulted in our relationship breaking down about 6 years ago. The result was no contact with any of my family, including my Sister and Dad. I had learnt to live with it for a few years and had happily reconnected with my sister for about a year. sadly Mum died very suddenly from Cancer, secondaries were found in her liver and due to complications she deteriorated and passed away in the space of a few weeks. I didn't get to say goodbye but my father reached out and we went to see her at the chapel of rest with my sister. My poor father is broken, they were soul mates for 52 years and I want to be there to help him and he wants the same....
At this point I would really like some advice..my Husband and mother never got along. They hadn't spoken for years. My father didn't feel it appropriate for him to attend the funeral so I went with out him. My Husband is furious, he said I should have put him first as he's my Husband, I got back the day of the funeral, after dropping my broken father home and he had packed a bag, said he was going (he didn't in the end, he came back) had a complete shouting meltdown and was questioning why he couldn't go etc etc. I just broke down crying and he had no sympathy for me at all, he just raged. We haven't spoken since and are sleeping in separate rooms. My heart was broken and he just sucker punched me (not literally) when I was down. I feel so lost.
Was I wrong? I just didn't have any good options here. I'd really appreciate a neutral point of view. I'm trying grieve, help my Dad and my marriage is falling apart. It feels too much. Thanks for sticking with it if you're still reading.
