    Don't marry into a family if you are having problems during the engagement. It usually gets worse, not better. People do not change easily. Consider yourself warned.

      It was hard, but I had to do this in my early 20s. My to be mother in law was so mean to me and my fiancé didn’t have the balls to take up for me. His mother gave him a trust fund and he loved that more than he loved me.

    My mother in law was a quiet person. I never knew how she felt about me until one day when we were alone. She told me how much she loved me and how happy she was that I had found my husband. Even though she was quiet she and my husband's family have always treated me with love and respect. I feel blessed that I married into the family that I did. My mother-in-law died from Cancer on Christmas eve 2015, and I miss her all the time.

    When I got married in 1984 I was 19 years old. My in-laws made early judgments on me because I wore dresses all the time. Eventually through the years I got to know them and they got to know me! I just liked wearing dresses. I felt good in them. That’s it! No hidden agenda. There were other things too. We grew to love one another. The year before her son and I divorced I went to visit her, with my daughter, who was 17. My husband wanted to stay home. We drive a couple of hours and my daughter and I spent the weekend with my mother in law. Loved every moment we had together. That was the last tune I ever seen or spoke to her. Her son and I went through a pretty terrible divorce after that visit and a few years later she passed. I sent her a card once after we divorced but I never heard from her. I understand she needed to support her son during this time. What hurt though is he wanted the divorce, he was having an affair and wanted to be with her and I gave him the divorce he wanted yet somehow I was the bad guy.

    When I see someone being quiet in a chair at a gathering, I never assume they are "pouty" or "moody", I see someone shy. If you make a safe space for an introvert, they open up at their own pace. I get the feeling the mother in law was judgemental and chilly from the beginning. How horrific that she (mother in law on stage) had NO problem with her son threatening violence against this woman on national TV. Even in the 80s that threat alone was illegal in many states. That was so disturbing.
    PS I had the greatest mother in law. She's been gone a year and a half. I miss her every day.

I make sure my husband is checking on his mom and we try hard to share our lives with our parents. It’s not difficult or exhausting because everyone knows their place. I didn’t steal anyone’s son. He’s not your man or your property. People need to understand that they serve different functions.

He's visiting my 2 kids and their families plus his brother in the city. He took ALL of us to lunch yesterday and it was also his way to visit with me, too.

      With all due respect, I have to disagree with you on that statement. Not all disabilities are visible. You absolutely cannot judge someone’s disabilities solely on what you can physically see.
      Also, I didn’t hear anything about the wife working. If he was at home with the kids, there shouldn’t have been any reason that she couldn’t get a job. That would have been two incomes in the house. Even if one of those was a disability check. It’s still a household income.
      * I would like to add that…. No I am not a disabled person, and I do work two jobs, 7 days a week.
      So this is not in my own defense. This is just me trying to educate people on invisible disabilities.
      People with invisible disabilities constantly have to feel judged and made out to be liars, or like they are trying to screw the government. It’s very hurtful to them that they have to feel the need to defend themselves to people that are so close-minded and judgmental just because they can’t physically see their disability.

At that time, she had one other daughter in law who she knew much longer than me, but we hit it off because we both loved her son. At first, I wrote her a letter and told her she did a wonderful job as a mother in raising her son, who was such a good man, and that I would do my utmost to make him happy. our marriage is wonderful, celebrating 35 years this year.

    My late mother-in-law interfered terribly when we first got married in the late seventies. My husband never stood up for me and I had to train him out of being a mummy's boy. When my first child was born she was Granzilla, she used to turn up at my house unannounced first thing in the morning and let herself in with her key and criticise everything I did (she had a full time nanny and never had to raise her three children). I ended putting the chain on the door and leave her trapped outside. She also complained that I didn't go back to work after two weeks as I was taking unpaid maternity leave! She never became a second mother but I put my foot down and she learned to treat me with respect, especially as I have always earned a lot more than my husband. My first mother in law to be I had a very lucky escape from because I did not marry her son, what a battleaxe she was, but the main problem seemed to be that they wanted a girl from a rich family. I am a mother-in-law of two myself now and I stay right out of the way.

Well on Christmas Eve night as we were leaving my sister in law’s daughters changed into beautiful nightgowns my youngest 4 year old daughter told them their gowns were pretty and they said Grandmom bought them for them. My daughter asked my mother in law where her pretty nightgown was and her response was “oh those are for granddaughters who stay at grandmom’s house for Christmas”. My daughter just cried and cried. Who does that? I have lived this for 33 years. I could go on and on.
