[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all these responses. My wife has actually been seeing a therapist for about four years who thinks MIL is a narcissist and has suggested to my wife that she needs to cut her mom off as toxic (at least for a few months, to reset the relationship). My wife has resisted this, saying "she's my only mom and she's not going to be around forever" or "I don't want to short-change DS [with the education funding]". So although she has sought help, she has not implemented what the therapist has suggested. As for me, I have mostly stayed out of it, and MIL seems to restraint herself in front of me (a few times over the years when she has said things involving me I have called her on it). I agree with the poster that said my wife is a grown adult; perhaps all I can and should do is offer my continued support (it's just frustrating that nothing changes after so many years and it really seems to be a big sapper of my wife's happiness)[/quote]
