At the dinner, a longtime friend of my husband's brother pulled a chair over next to my husband to talk with him. In the course of the conversation, the friend revealed that his wife did not attend because she was home with COVID. After we returned home, my husband and I both tested positive for COVID.
Your feelings are valid, but too much of your anger is directed at your in-laws. That's not going to change any of the decisions that were made. Yes, your in-laws could have held a more COVID-conscious gathering or put precautions like testing or masking in place.
Holding on to resentment is going to eat at you. Let it go. However, I partially disagree with your stepdaughter. You established a boundary. That's fair. If public events with too many unknowns don't feel right, you don't have to go.
