I understand that things could be WAY worse, but I just had to get this out there before it consumes me. Warning: this is gonna be long and there isn't really a point but to vent...
FI was informed on Sunday that one of his GM will not be coming to the wedding. He lives OOS and doesn't think he will have the money/time off to get here. Everyone (except FI) expected this as this GM has been very unreliable in the past. FI went out of his way to defend this GM against those making remarks ensuring that he would be here. FI is embarrassed now.
Then on Monday, we find out that his grandmother (his only living grandparent) will most likely be unable to make the trip. He was so upset by this, but we understand as she is elderly and not in the best health.
The real kicker came last night. I walked into our home to find FI sitting on our couch sulking. When I asked him what was wrong, he told me that now his dad will not be coming because it is "too long of a flight" and he won't have money for food when he gets here. FFIL's flight would be barely over 1 hour, meals are taken care of for our OOT guests, and FI even offered monetary assistance if he needed it. All of which FFIL declined. FI is heartbroken. His father was not in the picture when he was growing up and they have been working hard to rebuild a relationship. FI feels that this is a huge slap in the face.
So overall, it has been a really, really shitty week for my FI. He is feeling like nobody on his side cares about him and is just really hurt. I am being there for him as much as I can and am here to talk whenever he needs to. I just wish there was more that I could do. Good news is that FI has an interview today with a company that would double his income currently and the hours are unbeatable. Fingers crossed! He needs something good to happen this week.
Thanks for letting me rant.
