[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is awful but I've been working hard at understanding her perspective, which is below:

Nothing I ever do is right.  I try and try and all DIL does is complain about me.  Like when I visited their house as they were wedding planning -- yes, they insisted on living together after they got engaged even though I told them that I was against it since engagements break up all the time -- and I ripped up the wedding invitations before they were stuffed in the calligraphy-addressed envelopes.  My vicious and volatile DIL started screaming at me.  I did it out of love.  I could tell that they were in a bad place.  I wasn't against the wedding but it just wasn't the time to get married.  They ended up reordering the invitations but they went out late. That's not my fault.  I am sorry that DIL got so hurt and so angry.  Just to clarify, I'm not sorry that I did it.  They had a chance to work through some of their problems because I gave them more time and it all worked out.  They should thank me.  Now my own DS barely talks to me and it's all my evil DIL's fault.  Some marriages are meant to be, like my own, and some are better if they end in divorce, like my husband's ex-wife and my DS and DIL.  It's run its course.  I love her so I just want what is best for her and I can tell, everyone can tell, that my DS didn't and doesn't love her.  Things would be better if she respected my position in this family and understood that a son will always love his mom more than his wife.
