[quote=Anonymous]16:05 here.  I have to stress that if DH does not stand up to her (she may be counting on that!) - it is NOT the end of anything.  It is your cue to step in, even if you are in shock at his reaction to her (she may be counting on that too!).

Remember, she must have been a doozy to have as a mother if she can't even be a decent MIL or GM!  If she says she is supportive, that means nothing.  If she *acts* like she is supportive, well that is a whole 'nother thing!

My DH knew *nothing* about backing me up until he learned what loyalty is from his *new* family, and what a family means.  He grew up thinking passive aggressive abuse, ganging up (and more) was acceptable.  Change used to be unacceptable in his f*cked up world; acting like a cohesive family (unless someone needed something) was out of the question; strong women with their own world view were absolutely out of the question. Guess where he learned *that*?  Not in my house, honey.

Keep us posted OP.   [/quote]
