[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer about a month ago. She only shared
With immediate family (husband, son, daughter) because she wanted to wait until after surgery to share with others.  Unfortunately it looks like she's going to need some treatment to completely get rid of the cancer.

She's now telling other people, including my parents.  They get along very well and get together alone from time to time, and correspond through email/phone about once a week but they aren't close friends. My mom lost her sister to breast cancer about 10 years ago and since then has been involve in volunteer work.  My mom has a habit of forcing herself into situations and taking over.  We recently had an argument about her involvement in our house hunting process and over inserting herself.  Because of this,mil had specifically asked Me not to share with my mom until she was ready.

Anyways, my mom has sent me several emails and texts saying how I obviously don't respect her enough to share the info with her.  How I don't trust her enough to not tell anyone else/get involved, etc.  I finally sent her a text saying "with all due respect, MIL's diagnosis and how she is choosing to go about it is not about you."  [b] She then called me a bitch. [/b]

Ugh.  I guess this is more of a vent than anything. Anyone else have moms who over insert themselves into situations?  [/quote]

This is where I often stop while reading posts here. This is a deal breaker. I don't care how upset someone is about a situation, if my mother, father, MIL, brother, sister called me a bitch then I'm done. Family ties do not entitle you to treat me without an ounce of respect.

But then, maybe that's the way some posters communicate back to their family members. [/quote]
