Quote From: celh01You said the mother in law should get a life of her own?
I feel her son is part of her life..So are her Grandchildren.
No parent should have to start over and forget they have spent years loving and careing for a child and be' no' part of thier lives anymore.
It is cruel and unfair.
You say she should "get over it"..(the divorce)..
It sounds to me that she needed love, assurance and some help in doing that..And instead got booted out of the family.
Wanting to share a lttle part of her family's life is not unreasonable, or too much to ask for.
If guidelines need to be set they could all see someone to help them set them.
I'm sorry, kicking Mom/Grandmother out in the cold is unreasonable and cruel.
The daughter in law is very clear in showing that she is not interested in how the mother feels, and has no intention of taking her feelings into consideration or showing compassion..
She is showing no concern for her husband or children..
it is a very selfsih thing she is doing.
Right now the guy I have been with for 12 years. Sees his Mom every day, helps her do things because his Dad has passed away..And I get mad sometimes..But I know to try to stop him is stupid and unfair.What do I really want? A guy with no love or respect for his Mother? A old lady suffering cause she has no help?
I want him to be proud of himself and never have regrets ,cause some day she will be gone..
You say it all in this letter and you are a blessing to have in a Family.
