AITA for being angry my MIL forced me to go to her granddaughters graduation while I was having a seizure? My husband and I arrived 3 days before his nieces graduation. We all got along wonderfully until the day of. graduation. I have seizures. I get a horrible headache a few hours before I have one. At lunch I told my MIL that I was going to have a seizure and would be unable to attend. She shouted that it was her granddaughters day not MY day and I was not going to do anything to ruin it. She then stormed out of the restaurant. I was rather shocked and returned to the hotel with my husband. My headache got worse and I begged him to leave me in the hotel and go. I am exhausted, weak and helplessly confused after a seizure. My MIL came to the hotel, and drug me out of bed and had me taken to the graduation. While there I was having another seizure as my husband showed up. He was angry and refused to leave me alone. He had parked a long way away so couldn't get me to the vehicle. MIL told him I wasn't contagious, so no one cared if I had seizures. The granddaughter wanted me at graduation, it only happened once in a lifetime, and we were being selfish to want to leave. She was going to honor her granddaughters wishes. She then left for the bleachers and left me laying on the ground with my husband. After graduation they all left without even seeing us. The next day the niece told me to fuck off because she was thirsty and my husband refused to leave me and go get her a water and bring it to her. MIL was angry because I was not making sense and embarrassed her infront of everyone. SIL says I should beg forgiveness and apologize to keep peace. I feel I was not only disrespected, but placed in danger. I no longer feel safe with my MIL. I could have cracked my head on the concrete or fallen down the bleachers if my Husband hadn't arrived in time to prevent it. MIL says I am being overly dramatic and I ruined the graduation by hogging all my husbands attention.
I know high school graduation is important. I do realize it only happens once.
I am really hurt and shocked because nothing like this has ever happened before. MIL is the matriarch but usually very reasonable. Now she is refusing any contact with us until I apologize to the family. Nor are any of his family supposed to contact us.
I do not want my husband to be shunned, but I also do not want my MIL to think it is okay to do this again in the future.
AITA for refusing to apologize for ruining graduation and being angry I was basically kidnapped from the hotel while too weak to stop myself being drug out the door?
