I am sorry

Quote From: daunie78

My husbands family is a nightmare, it was like his mother wants no other woman in her son's lives, it is freudian at best.  We also have nothing to do with them, and our lives are far more peaceful for excommmunicating.  I find comfort in watches these shows on Dr. Phil, because then I don't feel like we are the only family with these issues.  They have had nothing to do with our daughter, yet my husbands son from his first marriage is the golden boy.  My step son was living with us full time, and they would come over bearing gifts for him, and nothing for our daughter who is definately their biological grandchild.  Our daughter is almost two, I had to buy another baby records book, and they are now down as deceased as per my husbands wishes, because he says to him they are dead.  We watched an episode of Dr. Phil in which he asked a son how he would feel if his mother died, the woman was also a monster-in-law, My husband told me that his mother and father are already dead to him, he did his morning the day he stopped all contact with them.  We fought with this no contact thing for a long time, but it got tiring always having to be the bigger person, and my m-i-l would never apologize for anything.  It was always an I'm sorry you feel that way, or I'm sorry you took it that way.
I am so sorry that your husband family has put ya'll through so much.I think it's wrong for them to treat the grandkids differently there's no reason for that. My mom always treated my husband like he was one of her own kids. My daughter is her only grandkid when my mom was alive she loved my daughter dearly. My husband's dad and step-mom are good to me they have nothing to do with my husband's brothers because they have tried to breakup their marriage too. If my husband's folks offend us they do apologize to us. My mom would do the same. I hope you can heal yourselves and your daughter.

Sounds like your MIL pulls the same "sorry you fell that way" and "sorry you took it that way" crap most of Dr Phil's MIL and Mil-to-be quests pull on their kids, S/DIL's and S/DIL's-to-be.
