My mother and I use to have hellacious fights when I was in my early to mid 20s. Before then, and after then, I've had complete respect for my mom...but something happened for a few years where I completely lost my mind.
I love my mom dearly. She is my best friend but it's taken me several years to figure that out. Now, we very seldom disagree about anything. If she says something that I don't agree with, I let it go and simply reply, "Yes, mom". I know that my mom only wants the best for me...and being an only child, I'm still her baby.
If anything happened to my mom, I just don't know what I'd do. In growing up, I've realized that no one can compare to my mom. To me, she's the best out there.
Now, my MIL...haha...we've butted heads but I've never cussed her out...even when I wanted to. She use to treat my daughter (not her blood grand daughter) horribly and after taking so much, trying to reason like a "good girl", I had finally had enough and told her that as long as she continued to treat my daughter badly, she'd wouldn't be seeing her.
This was a couple of years ago...and my daughter only really visits with them about 6 times a year...and they live less than 10 minutes away.
Anyway, Jeanie...sounds like your DIL is a spoiled brat. If you've not done anything intentionally to hurt her, then she needs to get over herself. She's obviously jealous of the relationship that you have with your son (her husband). I'm sorry that she's treated you that way. I'd like to think that she'll eventually come around...but it doesn't sound that way.
Hang in there, sister...and pray for her. That's about all you really can do at this point. |
