7 days and MIL still here

I've had enough. Im ready to cut all ties with him and his family. I'm dizzy and have awful neck,jaw and head pain. His mother is here because her sister is in hospital. I've had no help from him at all. She phones me all the time. I feel trapped and want to flee my own home.

She doesn't wash her hands when coming back from the hospital, wipes her water bottles in my tea towels and has been washing her dishes in cold water. It's making me gag. Now I have to preempt everything. I'm making dinner, food shopping everyday. I'm not sleeping properly because I can't relax. My partner and his family have done nothing for her. It's all on me. All I can think is she's not my mum why do I have to deal with all of it.

I went to sleep crying last night and woke up crying too.

Sorry to hear that Mhatso. My partner thinks I'm mental for being such a germaphobe but he's actually made it worse with his lack of hygiene. When I visit the parents Im fine as they are very clean. I watched my mil touch raw sausages and then start cutting up a cucumber one time *ugh*
