not always some are just to clingy to let go

2 sides to every story

the old saying is
A SON'S A SON TILL HE GETS A WIFE
A DAUGHTER'S A DAUGTER ALL HER LIFE, this can be very true daughters do stick to their mums more but sons have to look out for their new family and hard as that can be mums have to accept it and welcome in the daughter in law sometimes things dont go to smoothly but for the everyones sake you have to make the best of it and keep the piece

as i always say you can think what you like but its mostly best to keep your mouth shut

Thankyou all, I have listened to OH a lot recently saying that he doesnt want to see her etc, I have tried to say its best to visit. Now he has gone to the hospital, it all seems ok and becuse im confused he says Im jealous.

Nooooo confused! My parents treat my OH like a son, his Mum treats me like an imposter, its so hard!

Difficult for you Caz as no doubt at the moment she is playing the 'ill Mother' card and he is falling for it. wait until she is better before trying to sort it. otherwise i doubt you will win.

this is a problem, but you two must not let it create problems between you, m.i.l has to be made to understand that his priority is you so perhaps you could come to some agreement between the three of you of when its convienant for him to spend time with her, i have 2 sons one married one not and i accept their priority is their wife /partner and would'nt want it any other way they have their own lives to lead, if only she realy thought about it she's being very selfish.
when she's better perhaps she could get involved in something to get a bit of purpose in her life and something more to focus on other than your OH

Sad she feels like that .She may be ill but can't have the upper hand.Sound like she is being a bit selfish to me.Is it that your OH feel torn between the 2 of you?

Thanks ladies, its a very long story. OH has a difficult relationship with her, shes been ill and in hospital, this has emphasised the problem.

She lost her older son at 17 and hasnt wanted OH to be with anyone, this is creating problems with me and him. Does anyone have a difficult MIL?
