Hi TeeCee,

My situation wasn't exactly with a mother in law, but it was with a very serious boyfriend that I had for many years in highschool and the beginning of college.

While I didn't HATE his mother, alot of the time I was very uncomfortable around her. She tended to be very jealous of the time we spent together and the fact that her son had found love with another woman besides herself. This made me avoid her like the plague because she made it really uncomfortable for me to be around her.

I'm not sure if it was because it was her oldest son, and I know mothers and sons hold a special bond etc. (well i don't know- but thats what I heard) but it was hard. One specific example was one day my ex boyfriends mother had asked to go out for chinese food and he couldn't because he had to study alot. The next afternoon for lunch me and my ex ended up going out for chinese food, and unfortunately his mother found out. When she asked what we did when we came home and we told her thinking nothing of it. She ended up crying in front of me- asking him why he would take me when he wouldn't take her the night before. I mean, you can imagine how crappy I felt standing there while his mother cried because of me. It sucked. but at the same time, I mean we were in love so I didn't really understand why she was so upset.

Anyways, haha long story short, I know personally I tried to continue to make a relationship with her no matter how uncomfortable I was. It was obvious that she was attached to her son deeply, so it was important for me to also have a relationship with her to ever have her approval. Hopefully your DIL will come around and try to make amends. good luck and i'll cross my fingers for you.
