[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your MIL is a shitty human being who happens to be empowered by her cultural background. Unfortunately, in Chinese culture, it's always child's responsibility to accommodate the parent. And the parent doesn't have any obligation to meet the child half-way or be supportive, especially if it's something they don't understand or agree with. There's also this idea that no matter how shitty your parent is, they are still your parent and you owe them something. It's a cultural dynamic that's hard to escape even as an adult. Follow your wife's lead- it's her mother. But also be aware due to her cultural upbringing, she may not be able see that her mother is emotionally abusive or toxic. If your MIL is disrespectful or unkind to you and your future children, you may have to draw the line in the sand because she can't. [/quote]
