[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't have Alzheimer's and this doesn't represent any kind of change.

The MIL has always been this way but kept it hidden from OP and the brothers have all been enablers too.

I suspect all the getting married of her children and having kids is starting to freak her out, maybe she feels she's losing control over her "children."

If she can keep the whole family in turmoil, one against the other, then she can remain the spider in the middle of the web, making the helpless flies dance on the strings.

It's so obvious how manipulative she is being.  I'm not sure how OP could have missed it.

She probably encouraged BIL1 to screw up whatever he did wrong in the wedding in the first place--why not use a proxy to screw up BIL2's wedding?

Now she is just continuing that strategy to more family members.

Treating someone like this gently is a mistake.

OP, as soon as she started that manipulative bullshit with your husband, he should have said "Mom I love you but cut the shit with your emotional manipulation.  We'll go out to eat with who we damn well please.  Grow up and stop being such a shit-stirrer."[/quote]

Wow. You don't think you're projecting just a little bit here?[/quote]
