My single sister in law (brother's sis) came to visit and stayed 3 MONTHS. During that time she practically told me how to run my life. Everything I did was wrong. She even advised me how to raise my child (she has no children). I felt I bent over backwards for her during her stay - took her places and paid for everything but still it was not enough . Towards the end of her stay I had had it, I was physically, emotially and financially exhausted, and we left on bad terms. I felt used. She left the room she was staying in a pig sty. My husband says that I was in the wrong and that I should have made up for his sake before she left, he will always defend her actions. Now it's a constant topic of argument, even 3 weeks after she has left. I feel like she is haunting me and I know I should not let this issue consume our relationship but it is. I even hate hearing her name mentioned. How do I cope with this on a long term basis so I can come out with some dignity and grace.
