What would you do?

One of my own old threads "Extreme Isolation'' has been resurrected a couple of times. It's like giving mouth to mouth and the patient keeps dying over and over.

Haha. You have a way with words.
Yep! This is basically the reason why I mentioned why the thread was old , but personally myself I like resurrecting old threads.
It’s like giving mouth to mouth. 🤣
You crack me up.

Debbie, it seems your daughter doesn't want to be around these women, they have the sheer audacity to bad mouth your daughter right there in front of you..so now your husband has gone, is there any reason for you to have anything more to do with these people?

If it were me, and they did this to my adult child, they would be under no illusions what i thought of them, and I'd walk... a very long way away from them forever !!

Sounds like you are lonely and hour daughter is too busy or these folks are your need to hang on to them for the first is too hard to face alone.... tough life is I too am facing this.
 
I STILL feel overly stuffed this morning and there’s an entire fridge filled with yummy food.
Weight loss at this point seems pointless. 😝
Luckily I bought a new weight scale that doesn’t miss a thing. 🥴

We had a quiet Christmas with just the two of us but that’s my favourite kind of Christmas and no my husbands still sick. He’s quite the trooper though. He turned off the water and disconnected it to the kitchen so we would still have water throughout the rest of the house and is ready to start putting the floor down. He’s having a nap now though. 😊

"A little background.......My oldest daughter (mid 40’s) doesn’t really like being around my deceased husbands family. "

"My husband has a HUGE family with 3 sisters running the whole show (bitching, carrying on, spreading gossip, etc). One sis in law has decided every time she sees me, she bitches about my daughter, but always prefaces it with ‘we’ meaning the three sisters."

The bitching, carrying on, spreading gossip, sounds to me like a really toxic family. Since your husband is deceased why continue to attend family functions ? You could remember him in a way that suits you. Since they are toxic and badmouth your daughter ignoring them completely with no explanation would remove any confrontation. Maybe the "we" is limited to the one, if so & the others reach out to you, you can choose to listen.

Confrontation within a family is no picnic, but it's your choice to accept or remove yourself from that situation.
 
I don't see anything wrong with new members posting and resurrecting an old post especially if it is something of common interest.

What does it matter if you have already given your thoughts on the matter. Opinions do change sometimes. It's all just open conversation among friend.
 
I never mind an old thread resurrected. I threat them like I do all threads. If I have time to spend here I read what interests me and skip what I don't care for. I don't mind hearing opinions that are a few years old.
