Backstory: My DH is an enmeshed mamas boy (he’s the GC). We’re working on that. It’s a long, draining process.

He went over there to help her as he always does every weekend. I assumed MIL would be there with him.

I went to a recycling depot to get rid of some junk and left LO in the car, which never left my sight. The garage doors are wide open and you just stand outside and someone takes the bags from you.

Of course MIL and her henchmen (scapegoat son and caretaker grandchild) were there. I didn’t see them til it was too late.

After saying hello and asking who was with LO I said she’s here, she gasped and yelled that I left her baby in the car. But then she said “oh I gotta see LO… I’ll be right there!”

(I’ve been LC and Grey rocking for months. Now she’s got ammo to use against me.)

I will leave and divorce DH if what I did becomes blown out of proportion. I’m basically a single mom since he works all the time or goes to help his mother, and I was tired of all that garbage piled up in our kitchen… DH wasn’t helping so I did it myself. Literally left LO for 3 minutes and within view and running reach, window slightly cracked on a cool day, doors locked. But of course SHE had to be there with her flying monkey henchmen scapegoats who would love someone else in the family to look bad besides them.

And I left LO because it’s safer to stay in a car seat than lugging around a baby and carrying bags and bags of garbage into a gross depot. There’s no carts or anything and I didn’t feel like putting LO in a stroller to be honest. Just for a quick less than 5 minute task.

I had a panic attack driving home, had to pull over bcz I felt lightheaded and lost my sense of reality.

I just needed to vent I guess. If DH comes at me now, or CPS is called I already know my next move. It just sucks this happened. She should’ve been at home with her GC son.
