[quote=Anonymous]My wife is a wonderful woman to whom I've been married for over ten years and is the mother of our little son. She is an accomplished professional and has always been a great daughter. But since I've known her, she has has a very dysfunctional relationship with her mother. In essence, her mother is very mean to her on a regular basis, constantly attacks my wife's self-esteem, does a lot of comparing my wife's life with other people (money, house, etc.) and criticizes my wife very harshly at every opportunity. My wife, on the other hand, craves her mother's acceptance and suffers hugely pretty much all the time. Also, she is just incapable of standing up to her mother (she is no wallflower in general but someone just cannot manage her mom in any way--so my poor wife suffers in silence most of the time). I hate to see how mean my MIL is to my wife and how my wife seems incapable of managing her mother. Any advice on how I can help?![/quote]
