[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom's wrong, I know this. But no one in the family ever stands up to her, she had always been the matriarch ruler. She doesn't ever listen to reason, even when she's wrong she's right. [/quote]

This is exactly why one of the first PPs hit the nail on the head when they told you to "Set boundaries - and if you can't do that yourself, see a therapist".  Your situation sounds like your mom has had this role/control/victim strategy your whole life, and it can be very hard to set boundaries but it is a MUST.

As others have said, being able to do this with her is key to your own wellbeing and ability to stand up for yourself and protect yourself as well, not just about whether you see your nephews or not.

Find whatever support you need (outside of your family, most likely, i.e. therapist) to be able to stand firm and say "Mom, this is an issue between you and SIL.  It does not involve me and I'm not going to talk about it further." and keep seeing your nephews.[/quote]
