[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I must clarify that over the years we have been married, I had had great relationship with MIL. We were in their house almost weekly at one point and also celebrated every holiday together ( Xmas, thanksgiving , Easter ...etc) 
DH didn't cut her off. But he was quiet and distant around her. 
After the baby, I felt like having more time with my core family and so did DH.  Before we had our DC, DH was not sure if he wanted a child because he didn't want his DC to be treated like he did. I didn't put the dots together back then. But now I realized he just wanted to be happier for DC and he is happier if he has some distance from his family. I, too, admittedly tried to grow some distance from her because well, I need to stand by DH. But MIL is heartbroken because she and I used to be so close and I used to be the line of communication for her and her son. Plus, she looked forward so much to have grandchildren.  Now, I'm in a very awkward situation.

I understand her behavior might be partly caused by mental illness. But her mental illness did caused DH pain. It is not up to me to ask DH to forgive her.  [/quote]
