[quote=Anonymous]Once you get the whole MIL dead or not dead thing cleared up- You need to support your husband on this one. I grew up in a dysfunctional family and I could totally see my mother guilt tripping my spouse to get to see her grandchild more. I would be very hurt if my spouse gave in to these tactics. I think if DH is open to it, you should see a therapist together a few times. The therapist can help your DH hash out what his expectations are for his current and future relationship with his mom, what boundaries will help him achieve that, and give you both tools to set and maintain those boundaries. Specifically, it doesn't mean anything is wrong with HIM, but rather that a therapist can help you figure out how to have realistic expectations for and tools to deal with a mentally ill woman like his MIL.
