[quote=Anonymous]I'd be very angry because my bff is like a sister to me, and I'd rather her be there when I am having a hard time than my ILs.  I don't really have good advice though because I probably wouldn't handle it well.  I'd probably cause a huge family fight because I love my bff and I would have wanted her support more than anything.  My sister committed suicide a few years back, and my bff basically kept me afloat when I was drowning in grief.  She is just as much of a rock to me as DH is.  We all met in college 15 years ago, so we've been though a lot of ups and downs together (bff, bff DH, my DH, me).

The issue that I see is that if you make a deal about it, it will cause a family rift for a while - who knows how long.  Can you handle the drama and a fight maybe with DH over this?  You might have to suck it up if you want to keep things cordial, but that is not necessarily the route that I'd chose.   One thing you could do is ask DH to 1) get on your side & 2) talk to his mom on both of your behalves.  I do worry she will overstep her bounds frequently if you allow the precedence to occur.  However, I think if you do want a foot to be put down it should be from your DH.

Or you could just let it go and avoid unnecessary drama.  [/quote]
