[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel your pain. My MIL is a nightmare. You had enough on your plate with the accident. Yeah she helped your husband, but if she stresses the rest of the system it's bad for the family.

My husband can be a lot like yours. I don't recommend couples therapy though I'm surprised nobody recommended it. We encountered a therapist who had her own serious issues and it was such a waste and we didn't feel like shopping around.

I try to revisit topics when I am not furious so I can really discuss the issue with DH and how it affects me and us. I find anger is counterproductive so i do it when I am more in control, but yet can show my vulnerability and hurt.

Your husband is confused and has mixed loyalty right now. He has every right to a relationship with his mom and you are not denying him that. However, his loyalty must be to you-you are the team and his mom needs to respect it. It's up to him to set boundaries.

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and we go through good times where we are totally on the same page and strong and OMG this may do in our marriage times when it comes to dealing with in laws.[/quote]
