[quote=Anonymous]Well, I have a sister, so I hear plenty of my moms perspective about what happened.  Basically, she thinks my sisters husband and his family are all a bunch of manipulative liars, and they have sucked my sister in.  
My perspective is that my sister has always had a pretty materialistic side to her personality, had to have certain clothes, certain boyfriends, the prettiest girls as her friends, the coolest sorority, but she is brilliant and funny and beautiful and we love her anyway.  
Then she married a guy who is in big law (and also brilliant and funny), and that materialistic side just came out a little more.  So, of course she gets all fussy about what we wear and how we act around her inlaws, and she picked out presents for my mom to give them.  But my mom, who is a PhD and professor at a major Midwestern university, feels like my sister is treating her like she's some small town hick who doesn't know how to dress.  
This has all led to a lot of explosive fights.
