[quote=Anonymous]I love my MIL. I hope my DIL will think of me as family, as someone she can trust, as someone who supports her and my son as a new family, as someone who won't offer unsolicited advice (something I hate), but who will be an ear and offer advice and support when it is asked for. I hope she will see me as a loving grandmother to her and my son's children. I hope she will want to include me in her new family's life in a meaningful way, just as I would want to integrate her into my family as an accepted and loved member. I hope she will see me as someone who is open-minded and tries very hard not to be judgmental. The one thing that would make me very upset is if my DIL viewed me as "competition" for my son's love, instead of trusting that my son will have the room in his heart for us both just as I will have room in my heart for both my son AND his new wife.
