[quote=Anonymous]My challenges around my MIL come from her routine comments about our life choices. Many would advise that I ignore her or cut her off, but that's not how my family treats family. I do want a relationship with her so I do share our hopes and plans for the future. In return she listens and tells me later with small subtle comments that she disapproves. I actually welcome that, except that her comments tend to be along the lines that I am hurting DH in some way. It makes it hard. I invite her into my inner world, in an attempt to be intimate, but she ultimately doesn't like my choices. She makes it clear I am an outsider that she thinks is weighing DH down. It's hard to be close or comfortable with someone who rejects and judges you. I am envious of women who have supportive MILs. When I got married I took on DH's dreams as my own, and he did the same for me. We help each other achieve those dreams. She is unable to acknowledge that my dreams matter too. [/quote]
