feeling used and lonely
for a long time now I have felt empty, used and lonely. My husband works away for long periods of time and I am left at home alone. I do occasionally every couple of months have visitors, most of them are from my husbands family, my inlaws. My sister in law comes to visit a few times a year and she is a single mother with two young children. When they visit me it is always when my husband is away and they usually stay for around 3 - 4 days each time. The problem I have is that she seems to be out for everything she can get hold of when she comes up. Her kids and her will eat as much food as they can get off me and mess my house up. They expect me to cook, clean, be a babysitter, infact do everything. They treat my house like a hotel and they think they are on holiday. They also expect me to take them out to expensive places and pay for them, the children are really spoilt and scream and cry if you dont buy them what they want. Lately I have made excuses for them not to come up, like im busy, or need to go somewhere. I feel they are trying to take advantage of me and my lonliness. I would rather be alone than be bothered by these type of people. My family dont visit that much because we live far apart but if they do, they will bring me gifts and help me out and its better then. Also if my sister inlaw doesnt get what she wants when she comes up to visit she will report back to my mother and father in law and then they are offish with me when i go to visit. Im fed up of it all. I have tried for so long to keep them all happy but I feel used, im fed up of having my house messed up and them taking advantage of everything, helping themselves and showing no respect. Its getting so bad lately I think people will only phone me when they want something off me, i detest users really. Do any of you have any advice please. I need someone to cheer me up.
