[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't understand your surprise and despair, OP. This is a woman who abandoned her child, and you're wondering why she's erratic and extreme? It sounds as if she's had problems all her life, perhaps due to childhood abuse or mental illness. Whatever it is, your husband can't help her if she refuses help and now refuses to see him. It sounds as if you kept hoping you'd have a normal MIL. Stop, and let your husband mourn the relationship. For your information, many people have very bad relationships with their parents. It's not the end of the world. Move on. [/quote] I don't think you read my post. If moving on is the way to go, great. But my question was how do I support my husband and help him with this? He's fairly stoic and it was unusual for him to open up to me about his feelings - I think he really needs support and 'm hoping to hear from other people who have helped a partner deal with a parent like her.[/quote]
