Just want to vent about the hard time I am having breastfeeding and my MIL (ser .beyondtnebump)

It's 4 in the morning, and I feel like I have been crying for hours.
My baby will not feed. It's killing me. He is hungry and angry, and I think that's my fault because I am upset and it's
making him upset.
Earlier in the day my mother in law did something that made me so angry, that I haven't been able to stop crying.
Iam nursing in the living room while talking to MIL. We are 20 minutes deep into talking about a TV show when she
moves from her spot across from me, lifts up the blanket I am using to cover me and my LO, PHYSICALLY pulls my
breast out of LO mouth, and scoops him up in what seemed like one swift motion.
1 was shocked. It happened in less then 2 seconds. I immediately said, what the fuck are you doing?! To which she
said, what? Grandma needs her baby time too.
Iam not proud of saying I kinda just sat in silence for a minute, I genuinely thought I got something wrong. I then
told her it was not ok to take my baby or touch my boobs. All I go was, oh honey you lost the right to your boobs
when you decided to breastfeed. You can't get upset, one day I'll have tits bigger than yours. In any case, I only get
to see him once a day.
1 just started crying. I left to go cry in the kitchen where she couldn't see me, but I could keep an eye out on LO.
When DH came home, she accused me of being homophobic because how dare I acuse her of being pervy.
1 tried posting twice on JustNoMIL, but my posts we're removed because I gave the backstory of how my MIL is trans.
What sucks is that it really is important to how I feel, but some people got really butt hurt about it. I am accepting of
her, but it's so uncomfortable having someone who has a beard, dresses like a man, dates women, touch my breasts
and want to talk about my body all the time. She was obsessed with my pregnancy, and would not keep her hands to
herself. People thought she was my husband, it sucked.
1am a jumbled mess of feeling. Thank you for listening
