[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like it is the wife and her family.  My husband's brother like that.  Of course, she cheated on him and he's now alienated himself from all of us, which is sad for his kids and their mom, who didn't do anything wrong (but like this writer, wasn't the best mom but tried).

My husband's son's wife is like that.  We didn't give her cash every time she demanded it (vs. we'd send gifts for the kids) so she got mad and cut us off.  She also cut off her family as they stopped funding her lifestyle after she graduated college and refused to work so we don't take it personally.  She was raised that way by her mom to alienate her from her Dad and step-mom and Son was raised by his mom that way so it was no surprise.[/quote]

You are projecting. The DIL did not cheat on the author’s son nor is she asking them for money. Sounds like the son finally achieved financial
and emotional independence from his parents.

Son is several hundred thousand in debt.  Went to graduate school, got a nice house to rent, etc.  Her parents cut her off financially so they just went into debt to live a comfortable life. They regularly demanded money from us (not ask, demand - cash only - we'd offer to pay directly and they'd say no).

This absolutely sounds like the DIL at work.[/quote]
