I agree with DIL

Quote From: spirit299

 Ultimately, I'd say it is the MIL who should grow up and apologize, after all, she is SUPPOSED to be the older and wiser one.

I sympathize with the DIL because I too had the MIL from HELL.  My MIL tried to break up her son & I before she even met me or knew anything about me.  Some mothers are like that.  I suspect this one is as well.  My MIL did the same thing with my husband's older brother's wife before he married her.  She trash talked her to his brothers and tried to make her look bad.  My husband realized something was wrong with his mother when he saw her doing the same thing with me when he knew I was a good person.  She did everything she could to try and stop our wedding.  Tried to talk us out of marrying, when that didn't work she tried to talk us out of a church wedding, she just kept trying all different angles to stop us.  She tried to withhold her side of the family guest list.  She came to the wedding but made a big show of not looking at me when I came up the isle.  She didn't give us a wedding gift.  My husband ended up cutting contact with her completely due to her behavior towards me. 

A very import question that needs to be asked is where is the father of the Groom in all this (and the father's side of the family)?  I think that that could be a strong indication of what the MIL is really like. Why hasn't the father and his family been around... is the MIL such a witch that they too have cut communication??????
Yes, where is the father of the Groom?  Where is the father's side of the family?  I sympathize with the DIL and Son.... that MIL is mean and so is her sister.  Why is the son hiding his face?  I would like to know.  I don't think she raised a well mannered son....

A-men sister! Been there, done that, 19 years now. I am  DIL #3 married into a family of 3 boys an 1 girl. Married the youngest, he was 30 and I was 34 and MIL still thought she had the right to butt in and take over. MIL has trashed ex wives of 2 of the other boys, and the ex husband of the only daughter, and of course me. This was my second marriage so I'm a SLUT, but the the middle son is on his 2nd marriage and HE is a angel and his wife is a B. Never ends. 19 years I've dealt with it. Finally came to a head when husband got tired of his mother trashing everybody, especially me for no just reason. Because his parents never like me they treated our twin daughters like some kind of ugly step children. Didn't visit didn't call and never came to 6-7 years of sports games, over all 19 years of HELL. Then they would raise HELL we we would decide to spend a quiet holiday at home alone with our now 18 yr old twins and try to put my husband on a quilt trip. They are both miserable people that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. NO ONE wants or likes to be around them because they are so controlling and just mean rotten people. Thank GOD my parents were never like that. My husband loves my family and admits that mine is the only real family he has now. Our kids always got "CRAP GIFTS" while the chosen got very nice thing. The kids by their own choice have nothing to do with them, I have nothing to do with them, the 2nd wife of one son has nothing to do with them and all the ex spouses give thanks they are out of it. 5 of 7 grandchildren stay as far away from them as they can and 2 live with them for FREE room and board. When they didn't live there, they seldom came around. So we all can't be wrong... it the in-laws, they are worthless! Some people just need to face it. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT JUST LIVE TO CAUSE TROUBLE. My husband still has contact with them with my blessing, but very little contact by his own decision. BTW, my MIL wears the pants in the family and FIL is a WIMP! She treats him like CRAP too, but he is just as bad as she is.
