[quote=Anonymous]OP - Both my MIL and BIL are raging narcissists and it's been tough over the years to watch how poorly they treat my DH. To DH's credit, he wants very little to do with either of them now, but it took a while to get to this place. The final straw came after DH realized how their actions were affecting our DC. I don't think you, as the spouse, can tell your wife to cut off ties with her family. That is her decision because it's her mother. But you can -- and should -- take steps to protect your family by limiting time with the MIL, or as PP said, only meeting up in public, etc. Does your wife realize the effects your MIL's behavior is having/will have on your DS? Even if your MIL treats DS fine right now, DS is seeing how his grandma treats his mother and he's learning, implicitly, that it's ok to treat people that way. And it's likely only a matter of time before MIL starts treating DS the same way.[/quote]
