[quote=Anonymous]My mother in law is an interesting woman for sure. We have never clicked but are polite to one another. I spent my entire life skinny and healthy and then in my last two years of college got hit with some major health issues.

I was diagnosed with heart problems and thyroid issues and haven't been allowed to work out and am on crazy medication to get it under control. I had to quit school to focus on recovery and as a result I have gained weight. I met her during the weight gain period and I am working as a nanny to make ends meet until I can finish degree.

I found out recently that she doesn't approve of me because I am "fat" and have no future.she mentioned that she thought her son was depressed still over a bad breakup he had years ago and if his self esteem was better he would have never married someone like "me".

I haven't said anything to DH about this new discovery, which I heard thru a mutual friend of all of ours after too many drinks. I am so hurt and disgusted. Its not like were dating. Were married and I'm here to stay. I also have known my husband since we were little and he has always liked me. We reconnected in the height of illness and he is so supportive and wonderful.

I am finally getting my life back on track but her dislike of things beyond my control is upsetting. I lost my mother at a young age so I have always had this ideal of an in law relationship where I could feel close to another mom figure. It obviously isn't gonna happen here. Just was curious if anyone else went through this kind of situation. Not really sure how to separate what I know she thinks of me with polite visits to maintain. Thanks in advance.[/quote]
