[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way before Iet my DH, his family had a fallout (over 20 yrs ago)over something incredibly stupid. (An email was accidentally sent with unkind remarks).

My SIL is the root of this and she has always been a troublemaker. She has caused lots of problems btw my inlaws and us.

Anyway, my FIL misses his mother terribly. She is now well over 100 yrs old and I think he is going to regret not repairing their relationship once she passes.

My DH does not want to get involved. But [b]I was thinking of calling her, letting her know her son loves her and misses her, etc.[/b]

Btw [b]he sends her flowers every year for her bday. She does not respond.[/b]  However, her daughter (who she lives with) is a troublemaker too. So it isn't quite clear how his mom feels.

Should I stay out of it? MYOB?

I don't want to damage the relationship I have w in laws, especially for my child.

Advice?[/quote]

Major MYOB.

Beyond that - he's sending her flowers every year. So she DOES know her son loves and misses her, and she's choosing to continue to freeze him out. You, as I see it, have no relationship with this woman right? So even if you DID want to get involved and it was a good idea to (which it's not) you don't actually have contact with the person who is choosing to continue the estrangement. [/quote]
