My partner and I lost our son at 9 months of pregnancy. As you can imagine, it completely shattered us. While we were grieving some issues in our relationship resurfaced but we were trying to navigate everything as best as we could.
During that time my MIL called her son (my partner) andout of nowhere told him: “The death of your son is a sign that you two are not meant to be together.”
He was in shock. He asked her how she could say something like that, especially considering she’s divorced herself. He even asked if she would have wanted to receive that kind of “sign” when she was with his father. She completely ignored the depth of our pain and reduced our trauma to some kind "sign".
I lost so much blood that day it looked like a crime scene, and my partner had to clean everything himself when he came home to get what was needed to dress our stillborn son. We were both already devastated.
When I found out what she said Iwas furious. I thought: if you have a problem with me, say it directly instead of using the death of our child as an excuse.
It took me a few weeks to process everything before I confronted her. When I finally called her, she denied everything and claimed her son had lied about what she said just to please me.
Since then I don’t want anything to do with her. My partner doesn’t want anything to do with her either, especially because she refused to apologize.
What she said crossed a line for me, and I don’t think I can forgive her.
So, AITA for cutting her off after this?
