I wanted to strangle her last summer when she visited dh and I and she was all up in our business and conversations. She did not speak to me, in my house for a whole day because dh made me coffee and I told him it tasted like dog sheet.
I had a house full of family and things got so bad that I had a quiet word and told her to please stay out of my marriage. She got hysterical and started being dramatic. My 10 year old niece intervened. Hugged her and told her she was loved. I think I shared this before but I could not find it. Merge if I made a thread please.
the child made me swallow my pride and I went down on my knees and told mil that I loved her but I felt attacked every time she intervened in every convo with dh. Anyway we eventually kissed and made up. But I secretly vowed that I would never have her back in my house.
but now I feel so bad for her. Her husband left her because she wants to be physically close to her kids and he does not like or want to live where their kids live. So after over 40 years of marriage she has no husband. The kids she slaved for don’t really care. They are living their lives.
so they were all living in the same city but most have moved away in the space of 6 months. So she is depressed.
I want to do something for her. Any ideas? I was thinking of taking her on a cruise with dh and I. Cruises are not my thing but that’s the only thing I could think of. She gets on my nerves but the things I dislike about her are the things I love her for. I wish I had a mother like her. She is getting old and I want to ensure that my family (dh and I) honour her for the love and support she has given us.
