Quote From: mgrladyThe MIL wrote a scathing letter to DR. PHIL????? HA! I didn't buy her "poor me" attitude then and her behavior on the show sure proved she was the problem!! No wonder the son and DIL don't want her to be around. Further proof that this lady needs to get some serious therapy.
To the son.............GOOD FOR YOU FOR STANDING UP TO YOUR MOTHER!!! That takes a lot of courage!! I wish you a long and happy marriage!
btw......If that woman were my kids grandmother..........I wouldn't let her near them!!!!
Sometimes you have to stay away to protect yourself and your children.
Until you have been involved with a venomous relationship, the rhetoric and 'being a hero' in a relationship is only so much talk.
I am a daughter in law who has never even met my inlaws, but it did not stop them from trying to control not only my husband, but myself and the wedding, plus the other relatives that they forbade from attending.
When we made it abundantly clear we would welcome them as guests at the wedding, but not with the 'my way or the highway' attitude they felt they were entitled to, they did not show up. We still had police on alert, in case they showed up to cause trouble- made a stressful day unbearable.......11 years later they and my husband's siblings still have nothing to do with us or our child, because we will not consent to their control.
So the lady that is pining for family, you are welcome to them- unfortunately you might find out it is not the idealistic dream you hope for.
